Hi Friend,

What if I told you that it is probable that one in two people reading this work at companies that don’t apply even the most basic principles for managing their spare parts inventory? Would that be surprising?

My latest article is titled: It it Time to Fire Your Spare Parts Manager? Maybe so if your company is one of those making these very simple mistakes!

The 12 Week Inventory Optimization Program

The 12 Week Inventory Optimization Program is now taking shape and our first intake of participants will be on August 15th. If you want to participate then you should email me as soon as possible.

As a reminder, this is the program for companies that are serious about making significant, real and lasting reductions with their spare parts inventory.

This is not a training course. It is an action program where I will personally show you the techniques and process to use and then supervise your application of those techniques and process. The goal of this program is achieving actual lasting results.

What type of results? Well the average result achieved by companies using this process is the identification of a 28% inventory reduction opportunity, with 39% of that achieved during the 12-week program. The remainder is worked on by you following the program. What impact would a 28% inventory reduction have on your business?

Who is this program for?

This program is for:
  1. Asset-intensive companies that rely on spare parts for operations and maintenance support, and who
  2. Cannot justify my full training and consulting program because they have a small team and/or budget pressures, and who
  3. Recognize that spending more than they have to on spare parts is not good business practice.
This last point is really important because the benefits of this program are more than the immediate inventory reduction, the benefits include an ongoing reduction in unnecessary inventory spending.

I am so confident that this program will deliver as promised that I am offering a money-back guarantee – bet you never heard that before from a consultant!


Visit this page on our website to learn more about the program (and the money-back guarantee) or contact me to see if you company qualifies for involvement in this program. Or you can cut and paste the link below.
