Hi Friend,
This month we have a great new article/case study but before getting to that I want to ask you a favor.
We are exploring the idea of providing training via a 'virtual classroom' and I would appreciate your feedback on this idea. You can read about our plan and provide feedback from this web page.
Article, news and updates below.
Keep on improving!

| 3 Ways That The Wrong Plan Really Costs You
This month's article tells the story of a company where their spare parts inventory management approach had effectively been on 'auto pilot' since an update to SAP. New initiatives in their maintenance program then exposed some spare parts management issues and the company found that uncertainty and confusion resulted in them having the wrong plan. This cost them more than just time and money.
Follow this link to read their story and how they resolved their problem to make sustainable and meaningful change to their systems. http://sparepartsknowhow.com/3-ways-that-the-wrong-spare-parts-management-plan-can-really-cost-you/ |
