January Update and News
Issue # 164

Hi Friend,

The New Year brings new hopes, new plans, and, for many, new budgets!
It is a time to ‘reset the clock’ and start measuring performance from a new baseline. For many the New Year provides new opportunity.

It is the same for us here at SparePartsKnowHow.com. This year we have many great improvements planned as we continue to improve your access to our unique resources.

SparePartsKnowHow.com is the only place that you can source information that is exclusively and specifically aimed at spare parts management. We intend to maintain that leadership position by continuing to remove the need for you to travel to undertake training and make it easier for everyone in your organization to access the same content.

This month we announce a change to our popular ‘Ask Phill’ feature.

‘Ask Phill’ gives members a direct line to me, and my experience, to help them resolve questions and concerns relating to spare parts management. This provides the all important support needed for continuing development and solving problems.

‘Ask Phill’ will now enable members to email me directly with their question and I will respond directly. Members can follow this link to access ‘Ask Phill

Keep on improving!
