May Content Summary: Supply Chain Reliability, Monte Carlo Simulation, & Asset Recovery
Hi Friend,

I hope that you are staying safe during the current global pandemic.
During the month of May we have had plenty of great content from our Spare Parts Alliance members.

So today, ICYMI, I am providing a collation of the links.

Here goes.

Software and techniques for inventory optimization have evolved over many years.
While this sounds like good news, the real issue is that the approach used in software is not always clear or transparent.  One company that is on a mission to correct this is Right Sized Inventory.

The identification and removal of surplus, excess, or obsolete inventory can be a major headache for most companies. So much so that it often seems easier to ignore than to do something.

NRI Industrial has produced an ebook that explains everything that you need to know and do to address this: The Complete Guide to Asset Recovery. Read



NRI Industrial, has also just written an extensive article that addresses leveraging consignment inventory for industrial asset recovery.  Here is a link to an extract from that article.

That is a ton of content!
Keep on improving!
