SPARE PARTS MANAGEMENT

Optimising the management of spare parts is a key performance driver for maintenance activities.

On the one hand, the return to service of installations after failure, and therefore their availability, depends directly on the availability of the parts that make them up. Secondly, these parts represent a major item in the maintenance budget, both in terms of purchasing and logistics costs (transport, storage, handling).

This is why we are offering this 2-day training course on the fundamentals of spare parts management.

This course is aimed at managers, maintenance managers, technical shop managers, those responsible for spare parts management and strategy, and in general anyone who wants to optimise their shop and spare parts management.
