Hi Friend,
Recently I asked readers for feedback relating to both our online training content and frequency of communication. Thank you to all those that responded.
We have now collated all of the comments and you can read a summary of the feedback here.
In terms of the way we provide content here are the major changes we are now implementing:
1. Content Frequency.
We asked about the frequency of providing updates and it seems that there is no majority view between weekly, two-weekly, or monthly. In response, we will continue with two newsletters/updates per month but we will now post articles weekly.
Therefore, if you want weekly content just visit SparePartsKnowHow.com each week and you will see the links to new content at the bottom left hand corner of the home page.
If you don’t feel the need for weekly insight then just wait for the newsletter and we will include links to all of the most recent content (see below).
2. Content Format
We asked about choice between written content, video, and podcast. It was a close call between written and video with podcasts a distant third.
So, with every article we will now post a short video summarizing the key points from the article. The video will be provided from our YouTube channel.
Once again thanks to everyone that took the time to provide feedback.
Another Instructor-Led Training Course Announced
Last month we announced an online, instructor-led training event. This course is timed for people living/working in the Americas, Pacific, Australia and East Asia.
Due to demand from the rest of the world we are now announcing a further course timed to cover the rest of the world.
You can read about both courses here.

| MARCON 2017
MARCON is unlike any other conference you will attend this year. You won’t just learn by sitting in workshops and presentations. MARCON’s intimate size allows you the opportunity to collaborate one-on-one with the presenters, exhibitors and other attendees.
Join them as companies share their best practices, and information on new and emerging technologies, methods and techniques in the area of Reliability and Maintenance Engineering and Management. This conference is a forum for all — practitioners, specialists, managers, educators, students, and even the new and uninitiated.
The conference is held in Knoxville, Tennessee from March 6-9, 2017

Spare Parts Inventory Data Governance and Cleansing
No matter how well the spare parts identification system is set up, without an appropriate spare parts inventory data governance structure and process, the information that you have will lose integrity.
Whatever the reason, your organization is very likely to invest in its materials data and data management systems at some point, and while the payback is big, it can be a significant, resource-draining project, and it is very easy to get wrong. This article identifies the key decisions that will enable you to make sure that your newly cleaned data stays clean.
The post also includes a short video that explains the key points.
