Upcoming Workshop: Spare Parts Management Boot Camp

I will personally be presenting the Spare Parts Management Bootcamp at the Maintenance and Parts Solutions (MAPS) Conference in Louisville, Kentucky in November 2015.

This bootcamp will cover all that you need to know to take control of your spare parts management, including calculating your re-order point without expensive software, understanding and managing critical spare parts and why you should be thinking about inventory prevention rather than inventory optimization. 

I know that November seems like a long way away but places at this 'must attend' event are limited so this is your chance to get in before the session sells out. 

You can read about (and then register for) the boot camp by following this link.
