Hi Friend,

Can I ask a favor?

If you purchased a copy of my latest book Spare Parts Inventory Management from Amazon, would you mind posting a review?

Reviews are very helpful. Not just to me :) but they also help get the word out to others about the book and how it can help them.

It should take just a few minutes and your input is really appreciated.


Reduce Your Spare Parts Inventory in Just 12 Weeks! 

As announced last time, we are now developing a new program that will deliver genuine, maintenance friendly, inventory reductions and lasting procurement savings in just 12 weeks. I know that might sound like a big claim but the techniques that we will share have been proven and really do work.  This isn't hyperbole, it is backed up by past results.

Here are some details:
  • The program will focus on a process known as the Quick Release Strategy.
  • This process has helped companies to quickly and effectively reduce their inventory, with no negative operational impact.
  • The program will last 12 weeks, during which you will learn and apply the process.
  • To participate you must be in a position to apply the process to your company's spare parts inventory and be ready to take action.
  • The program is very interactive: we will train you and then coach you in the application of the process.
  • You must be willing to share your data with us so that we can help coach you in the application of the process.
  • You will make changes to your inventory during the program that will produce major savings.
Importantly, this training is not open to consultants or anyone just wanting to learn the technique - you MUST be ready to apply the technique.

I am so confident that this program will deliver as promised that we will be offering an iron clad, 100%, money back guarantee that, if you apply the techniques as taught, you will achieve savings that payback the cost of the course BEFORE YOU COMPLETE THE PROGRAM. This program will be fully self-funding.

As you would expect, because of the nature of this course you will need to qualify before you can start - I want to be sure that you are ready to do the work and deliver results.

Spaces will be limited. So if you want to get in first then contact me and we can discuss the detail. By the time we post the detail on the website it may be too late!
