Hi Friend,

Happy New Year!

Once again we have turned over the calendar and find a whole new year stretching out in front of us!

What is your New Year Resolution?
  • Is this the year that you finally identify the key to achieving your spare parts inventory management goals?
  • Maybe you now have the budget to get your whole team up to speed and aligned and so make real inroads to achieving your goals.

New Article

This month's new article is titled, Let's Talk About Spare Parts Management Goals, and challenges that many of the goals that companies set are just not relevant - and maybe just not achievable  Could this apply to you? If so, then this is required reading as the article goes on to suggest what you should do about it!


Special Interest Groups - We Need Your Input!

One our new initiatives for 2019 is the introduction of Special Interest Groups.
As the name suggests, these groups will focus on specific areas of interest and will involve a small group of practitioners plus an external expert. The group is the opportunity to discuss issues, hear from others, and tap into their insights.

We trialled this approach late last year and the feedback was all positive.

What I need from you is your input on topics that you would like to discuss. To provide your feedback, just 'Reply' to this email and let me know what topics you would like to be included.


New Group Discount Structure
Training isn’t just for individuals.
Many companies recognize that the best results are achieved by training multiple members of their team. Sometimes they need to train people across a number of locations.

To help make this possible, at SparePartsKnowHow we use an exponential discount structure. This means that the more of your team you train the lower the cost per user.


Check Out Our Range Of Training Courses
As part of our recent update we have now segmented our courses into two different pathways Indirect Inventory Spare Parts Management and OEM and Service Spares.
This enables us to present content specifically targeting these two different areas of spare parts inventory management.
