SpareParts & Warehouse Design

Code : PSC12
Date : 1 – 2 July 2013
Venue : Singapore

The Course

This course will focus on addressing the issues related to the Warehouse design and Spare Part Optimisation. The investment in MRO items in capital intensive industries may exceed the amount of finished goods inventory. When comparing MRO to the finished goods, it is clear that it requires new, innovative approaches in order to optimise this type of inventory. However, knowledge of MRO’s (Maintenance, Repair and Operations or Overhaul) items is critical for the effective operations in capital intensive industries. When designing a new warehouse, it is essential to take an integrative approach to the process. Merely replicating an existing process will not provide significant benefits.

The Goals

In this seminar you will therefore learn how to:

Understand the role and importance of MRO inventory in achieving business results
To approach the warehouse design process in a new, innovative way
Understand the advantages/disadvantages of each design option
Effectively provide a support structure to the warehouse
Use the best-of-breed approach to the information management in the warehouse
