Do You Really Understand Spare Parts Management?
Hi Friend,

Continuing our monthly themes for our newsletter, this month's theme is: Understanding Spare Parts Management.

Even among practitioners, it is not sufficiently recognized that the management of spare parts and the management of other inventories appear similar but are actually quite different.

To be clear, I am addressing here the management of spare parts held by a company for the operational and maintenance support of their own equipment.

This month's feature article is titled, Management of Spare Parts, Are You Using the Right Set of Rules?
Using sporting analogies, the article makes the point that, what may appear to be subtle differences can actually have great impact.

This month's feature video discusses the categorization of fast and slow moving inventory.
Is this a useful categorization? Watch to find out.
