The MRO Data Excellence Framework is a set of best practices and guidelines for managing in an organization. It is designed to help all functions ensure that their data is accurate, complete, and up-to-date across ERP / CMMS / EAM systems.

Major components of MRO Data Excellence Framework

• Accurate and complete data: This means having a comprehensive and reliable set of data that is as per ISO 8000 data quality standard and free from any errors.
• Data Standards and Industry specific Taxonomy: a well-defined data taxonomy can ensure to cover a wide range of data parameters including data formatting, naming conventions, classification, category and many more.
• Robust data governance: Defining Policies, procedures, and controls to ensure data integrity, security, and availability.
• Data quality management: This involves implementing processes and tools to regularly assess, monitor, and improve the quality of the data.
• Data integration and interoperability: Integrating data from multiple sources and systems and ensuring that the data can be easily shared and accessed by different stakeholders.
• Data analytics and reporting: using advanced analytics and visualization tools to extract insights and trends from the data, and to provide meaningful and actionable reports to supply chain, procurement and maintenance activities.

Role of Data Governance in Data Excellence Framework

One key component of the MRO Data Excellence Framework is data governance. This involves establishing clear policies and procedures for managing MRO data, including how it is collected, stored, and used.

A robust data governance system ensures:

• Defining roles and responsibilities for data management within the organization
• Designing Implementing an industry specific data taxonomy
• Establishing processes to meet the ISO 8000 data quality standard
• Setting standards for data formatting and naming conventions
• Establishing clear policies and procedures for managing MRO data
• Developing a system for tracking and documenting data changes and updates
• Assuring appropriate permissions and safeguards are in place to control and secure data edit privileges

It is important to note that while data governance is a crucial component of the Framework, it is not the only one. Other components, such as data quality, integration, and reporting, are also essential for ensuring that MRO data is being used effectively to drive business value. However, if the data itself is of poor quality or is not properly integrated with other systems and processes, it will not be able to provide the insights and value that the MRO team is seeking. Similarly, robust reporting and analytics capabilities are necessary to extract meaningful insights from MRO data. Without the ability to analyze and interpret the data, it will be difficult for MRO teams to make informed decisions and optimize their operations.

• Gaining visibility that a lot of work can be done off-site which directly reduces the travel time.
• Reduced travel gives the executives a chance to rethink and prepare for any uncertainties that might come.
• Reduces anxiety if the suppliers can adhere to committed delivery of spares and asset within the timeline, and costs.

With increased demand for organizations to have a clear MRO strategy, inventory optimization is now playing a lead role which is directly impacting significant costs of overall operations across supply chain, labor, procurement, sourcing, warehouse, logistics, etc.

The major concerns of the organizations for touching the MRO inventory is that they know that it exists across systems, but there are duplicates. The Maintenance teams spend about 20 to 30% of their time searching for a part, with even more delayed time with obsolete parts and not being prepared with the alternated.

Frankly the ‘DATA IS DIRTY’, and below are the difficulties one faces including:

• No clue where to begin
• Who will be impacted
• Utilized internal resources carrying out their regular tasks who cannot work on MRO data
• Unavailability of necessary tools
• No leadership direction to own this
• Cost factor where if it will cost is millions of dollars, it is not budgeted
• having no idea of ROI time lines

And many more…

In lieu of all these difficulties, we simply will put it on the back burner, and get the job done slowly which would take another 2 to 3 years.

The absolutely ‘NO’, companies who we work with have had one, or several of these thoughts before approaching us. Therefore, firstly we need to remove the prejudices associated with MRO Data:

• Low costs:It does not cos millions of dollars, it will range from about US$5,000 to maybe US$40,000 to US$70,000, and can increase based on volume, and scope. However, the cost range is right here from small to large companies across industries.
• Low time lines: It can be done in anywhere between 2 to 8 months, irrelevant of the volumes at hand.
• ROI: The ROI is fairly immediate (3 to 9 months), even if your embarking on a 3-year supply chain efficiency program, and MRO is a part of it.

MRO Inventory Optimization does require specific – tools, domain experts, and experience in analyzing the insights and making actionable recommendation. , takes it to the next level of even supporting some of the implementations via a network of trusted partners. The client ownership is minimal, and usage of tools are simple yet configurable. Periodic walk through of insights – weekly, monthly & quarterly; recommendations, progress, feedback is extremely proactive, and to the point with quick results.

In the next blog, I will share some details of some of the techniques of inventory optimization and the results thereby.
