Whether you have a small business or a large and complex organization, everyone is looking to maximize their opportunities to compete in today’s global market.  You need to be able to efficiently and effectively adapt and manage the essential pieces of your business to move forward.  What if you could reasonably invest now so that you could leverage your buying power, improve efficiencies and reduce risk and costs to make your business even better?  Catila Studios is ready to help you do exactly that - it’s time to tackle your Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) inventory together!

 

Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) is an often-overlooked part of most businesses, but it encompasses so much of what is critical for operational success.  For instance, MRO items include:

​

Consumables ~ cleaning, laboratory or office supplies

Industrial Equipment ~ processing, packaging or utilities

Upkeep Supplies ~ lubricants, spare parts and/or rebuild components

Computers, fixtures, furniture and other important supplies

                                                            

What if you run out of a vital consumable or element used in the equipment that is part of your production process and you have to shut down?  Now not only do you have a halt in production, but your employees are not working, your deliveries are not being made and this stoppage results in lost revenue.  

 

Various studies over the past decade have shown that not only is MRO spending in the U.S. in the hundreds of billions of dollars, but as many as half of U.S. businesses are not effectively managing MRO supplies.  

MRO can no longer be an afterthought in these tight markets.
