Uncover a clearer, more accurate view of your inventory
IBM Maximo MRO Inventory Optimization can help you optimize your maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) inventory by providing an accurate, detailed picture of performance. The MRO IO closed-loop solution integrates with EAM and ERP applications, automating day-to-day manual tasks. Machine-learning algorithms gain knowledge from new transactions and movement records coming from the ERP, and use data to determine, in real time, if the current stocking strategy is still appropriate. Considering past material usage and future demand, the solution helps balance the costs of holding inventory against new orders. Low entry point, high value
On average, MRO IO helps reduce inventory holdings by 20%. Some customers have reduced manual process work by as much as 1,700 hours. These savings can free up working capital to fund your company’s digital and operational transformation.
