Plan for Unplanned Maintenance – Minimise MRO Risk

A reliable availability of parts is required for good preventative maintenance procedures. For planned, scheduled maintenance, providing the necessary parts availability is routine.

But unplanned maintenance happens and parts availability is equally (or even more) important to reduce the impact on operations resulting from unexpected breakdowns.

During unscheduled maintenance a clear understanding of critical spares is vital to prevent unnecessary delays in repairs and to prevent the purchase of unnecessary spares. Although replenishment decisions are often delegated to the most experienced staff, experience alone is not enough.

Best practices are based on techniques that use readily available information to guide appropriate replenishment decisions regardless of experience.
