Hi Friend,

What do instructor-led online training, vending machines, & videos have in common?
They are all part of SparePartsKnowHow this month.

Instructor-Led Online Training

If you are one of those people who doesn't pursue online training because you need the structure and discipline of the classroom (and there are lots of you) then you will be excited to hear that we have just announced a new series of instructor-led online training courses.

The topics are:
  • The Basics of Spare Parts Management
  • Best Practices in Spare Parts Management
  • Spare Parts Policy Development
  • Spare Parts Inventory Reduction
The advantages of the instructor-led format are many but one that I think is most important is the engagement that you can get with the instructor. This adds a whole other dimension to your training experience. 

For example, in our policy development course we will not just tell you what to do, we will coach you in how to do it, provide templates, and can even review your work in developing policies for your company.
That is very powerful training!

We have developed a schedule of courses for the remainder of 2019 and you will note that we are covering all time zones.

Please also note that all courses can also be scheduled for in-house delivery for individual companies.

Videos: Something to Think About

Fast and Slow Moving Inventory
Do you label your spare parts inventory as fast and slow moving?
If you do, then I think that you are wasting your time.
Watch the video find out why.


How to Bring Certainty to Spare Parts Inventory Management Systems
Have your spare parts inventory management systems developed over time? 
Was that by design or ad hoc? 
Without proper design your systems will lack consistency, audit-ability, and certainty.
Watch the video to find out why.



Group Discount Structure
Training isn’t just for individuals.
Many companies recognize that the best results are achieved by training multiple members of their team. Sometimes they need to train people across a number of locations.

To help make this possible, at SparePartsKnowHow we use an exponential discount structure. This means that the more of your team you train the lower the cost per user.
