Why MRO is the Gold Mine No One is Talking About

Why is it time to treat maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) as a first-class citizen? How can these processes be properly optimized? What makes business leaders hesitate to adopt new technologies?To discuss this, and a whole lot more, not one, but two experts from Verusen joined hosts Scott Luton and Mary Kate Love for this episode of the Supply Chain Now, with Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Paul Noble alongside Senior Manager of Product Management Danny Ramos in the hotseat.Paul has just returned from Las Vegas from the SAP Innovation Days for Supply Chain conference, and kicks things off by highlighting some of the key themes that he and other attendees discussed on the ground. Chief among them is the supply chain tech stack and the ways organizations are seeking to unify systems, and how MRO is being folded into these transformational strategies.This is important, the duo say, because MRO is essential to running businesses effectively. “You can’t produce a product if you’re uncertain of what’s happening,” Paul says succinctly, while also stating that the notion of supply chain being a competitive advantage has been overlooked for too long.Tune in to the full discussion to hear both experts’ fascinating insights:· The role of AI in enhancing MRO efficiency.· Boosting supply chain visibility to reduce risks.· The direction of travel for supply chain tech stacks.· And much more!Additional Links & Resources:Stop Relying on Manual Processes for MRO: https://bit.ly/49YviPO5 Reasons Manufacturers Haven't Achieved MRO Optimization: https://bit.ly/4ceQ0wcIt's Time to Move Beyond a Traditional MRO Strategy: https://bit.ly/3Pmu6xnLearn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comWEBINAR- Navigating Logistics Disruptions with Advanced Technology and Automated Collaboration: https://bit.ly/42KfZazWEBINAR- Exploring Rebate Strategies in Supply Chain Partnerships: https://bit.ly/48KmfAvWEBINAR- Building an Antifragile Supply Chain: Dr. Schär’s Climb to Inventory Excellence: https://bit.ly/3Pc7wanThis episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Mary Kate Love.
