MRO Catalog Cleanup & Master Data Standardization

An MRO catalog cleanup and master data standardization project can have wide-ranging benefits. Confusing, disorganized, incomplete MRO materials records are major time and capital sinks. In fact, the operational efficiency of the whole maintenance organization can be dragged down by the MRO catalog’s poor data quality:

• Maintenance technicians waste time searching for parts and often revert to physically searching the storeroom. This is time they are not available to make repairs.
• Often when a part cannot be found, procurement orders another, creating duplicate parts inventory.
• When equipment is retired and replaced with a new model, the catalog may never remove the legacy data (parts for the original).
• Over the course of a year or two, a poor-quality materials catalog can tie up millions of dollars in working capital in duplicate and obsolete parts.
