New Articles and New Book Offer
Issue #180

Hi Friend,

Over the past few weeks I have been releasing a series of videos explaining the structure and content of my newest book Spare Parts Inventory Management.

This book deals with the entire spare parts inventory management life cycle - from first establishing a system of management, through to deciding what to stock, managing that stock, and finally obsolescence and disposal. This book tells you everything that you need to know about spare parts inventory management. 

You can access the videos here http://sparepartsknowhow.com/spim-structure/.

More importantly, I am providing a special bonus offer to anyone that purchases the book, either in pre-release or in the first week of release.

Here's the deal:
Purchase the book at Amazon.com either as a pre-release order or during the first week of release and, in addition to the book, I will give you:
  1. A complementary 3-month subscription to SparePartsKnowHow.com. This will enable you to complete the Spare Parts Inventory Management Certificate online (yes, we have a certificate in spare parts management). Normally, access to the course costs $499.
  2. Access to one of three online ‘open mike’ sessions where I will be on hand to answer your questions about spare parts inventory management. This service is normally only available to consulting clients.
To claim your bonuses you just need to visit the Contact page at PhillipSlater.com and use the form to provide your name, email address, and receipt number.

Then after the first week of release we will advise everyone who registered of their 3-month membership so that they can start their certificate and we will provide dates and times for the online sessions.

That’s it! Too easy!
Using the above link you can also get access to a download of the Preface and Introduction.

Keep on improving!

7 Things That Every Senior Manager and CFO Should Know About Spare Parts Management

Recently I started an article series titled 7 Things That Every Senior Manager and CFO Should Know About Spare Parts Management. This series is intended to provide the C-level insight needed to ensure that a company's investment in spare parts is appropriate. The series is not about spare parts management it is about the business context and strategy associated with spare parts holdings.

You can access the first 3 articles in this series here http://www.phillipslater.com/articles-and-updates/

The remaining 4 articles will be published over the next 4 weeks.
