The knowledge and experience Mark shared really opened my eyes on a number of options and improvements our department can implement to be more effective and shined a light on the number of best practices we could implement.
3-Day Public Seminar
Materials
Management
Does your maintenance team waste hours chasing parts that should be easy to find? Our 3-day seminar gives you proven storeroom and inventory practices that put the right part in the right place at the right time, so your team can focus on uptime instead of hunting for materials.
Sound Familiar?
Don’t Let Poor Inventory Control Slow You Down
Are you tired of missing parts, inaccurate data, and the stress of last-minute fixes?
1
Chasing parts that should be easy to find. Hours disappear hunting for materials your storeroom should have ready.
2
Stockouts and dead stock at the same time. You’re missing the parts you need while excess inventory ties up budget on shelves.
3
Data you can’t trust. Inaccurate records and missing information turn every lookup into a guessing game.
4
Downtime waiting on materials. Equipment sits because the right part wasn’t available when the work order dropped.
5
Maintenance and purchasing out of sync. Miscommunication between the floor and procurement slows everything down.
6
No real process. Issuing, tracking, and replenishing parts happens by improvisation instead of a system.
What You'll Learn
Three Days, Built Around the Work
As a maintenance or storeroom professional, you’ve faced the frustration of missing parts, inaccurate data, and processes that never seem to work. It’s stressful and costly when your team can’t get the materials they need to keep equipment running. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Each day blends instruction, group exercises drawn from real plants, and worked examples you can take home. By the end of day three you’ll leave with a customized improvement plan you can bring straight back to your site.
Day 1
Foundations & Strategic Practices
Understand the storeroom’s role in reliability, work through the nine strategic practices that improve accuracy and stock levels, and explore supplemental approaches that strengthen materials management.
Day 2
Tactical Processes & Procurement
Master the fifteen tactical processes that keep materials flowing, tighten purchasing and procurement, set up a Stores Stock Committee, and learn root-cause techniques that fix problems for good.
Day 3
Safety, Layout & Your Improvement Plan
Apply safety and environmental practices, optimize storeroom layout and organization, and build a customized improvement plan you can implement at your site.
From Our Attendees
Real teams. Real results.
I have a clear path on my roles and responsibilities of a planner/scheduler. I have a clear path on how to move forward and make a difference in my company.
So many amazing takeaways, but the biggest would have to be to always continue to learn, always do your best in the role your assigned, and implement the strategies to better improve the organization.
I came in skeptical. I left with a backlog reduction plan I actually used the following week.
Best training investment our department has made in five years. The supervisor alignment piece alone was worth it.
