Are you responsible for ensuring that the plant and machinery in your company functions 24/7? Do you know the most important requirements to avoiding longer machine downtime? How well is your company positioned in spare parts management, optimal warehousing, and perfect data quality? Our many years of practical experience has shown us that there is still a great deal of hidden development potential. Data quality is often poor because product and plant data are inadequately maintained. The most common causes are human errors, lack of understanding, insufficient standardization, unclear responsibilities, and missing processes.
With our MDM Excellence Workshop for Spare Parts & Maintenance, we will provide you with an overview of the potential of your master data and will show you your perspectives for the future. In this workshop you will learn how to cleanse your spare parts, introduce spare parts classification and optimize your processes with a modern MDM (master data management). This is the only way to reduce spare parts inventories while maintaining spare parts availability and still reducing (avoiding?) the risk of machine downtime.
Many employees, whether in production, maintenance or in the warehouse, face the same challenges in optimizing the data quality of their spare parts. Which ones are you facing?
System failures can have serious consequences (delay in delivery, claims for damages, damage to reputation). Therefore, spare parts inventory is still often seen as the insurance against machine failures, but this means companies are often “over insured”. The excessively high inventory levels can cause capital commitment overruns in companies.
Increasing the availability of assets while reducing costs and capital commitment is only possible if the basis, i.e., the data quality, is correct. A data classification (such as ECLASS) allows you to keep your data in order, to identify duplicates and to find spare parts faster. This way, you can permanently reduce your spare parts inventory.
There is an Excel workbook, or an Access application – employees often use their own tools to search for and maintain their material master data. This often results in data inconsistency and even losses of information. Non-inventory warehouses are particularly problematic because they lack transparency. A great deal of time is spent searching for spare parts.
Clean up your non-inventory warehouse. Provide your employees with a tool that combines all relevant information into a single point of truth that is directly linked to the ERP system. A simple material search via the ERP system makes shadow systems irrelevant. This way, you will create transparency in all departments while reducing administrative efforts.
Your master data management does not have clear rules and workflows. Employees who actually have other tasks must additionally take care of master data. This lack of know-how can lead to duplicates and incorrect information on spare parts in your master data, slowing down subsequent processes.
Integrate modern MDM solutions, such as a ticket system, which create, maintain and provide your spare parts ad-hoc throughout the company and with maximum data quality. These integrated systems support the traceability of your spare parts and the ongoing digitalization of your company
Together with you, we will create a department-specific understanding of the MDM challenges ahead.
Based on the status quo (ACTUAL analysis), we will develop, with you, strategies and specific measures for your master data management project considering your goals and our experience. In our workshop, we will provide you with the right tools to minimize your machine downtime, calculate an efficient warehouse utilization and reduce warehouse costs.
