9 Symptoms of Poor Spare Parts Inventory Health - and How to Avoid Them
Issue #210

Hi Friend,

Understanding spare parts inventory health is both simple and complex.

Simple because the actions required to establish an effective spare parts management system are well documented (just read one of my books!).

Complex because there are many ‘moving parts’ (pardon the pun) and that means many things can go wrong that can (and do) have a major impact on your results.

By failing to understand this, companies will experience one (or more) of the 9 symptoms of poor spare parts inventory health.


My most recent post discusses the 9 symptoms of poor spare parts inventory health and how to avoid them.

It is all explained HERE.

Seriously, understanding the factors affecting your spare parts inventory health is a BIG issue.
This post explains these factors and explains why working it out as you go along just doesn't cut it!

Companies that invest knowledge in just one (or a few) individuals usually find that there is not enough ‘critical mass’ to execute widespread improvement. Worse than this, they find that different locations do things differently because they went to different training events. Better to have just one ‘source of truth’. This is what Company Membership at SparePartsKnowHow provides.
