Description
STRATEGIC MRO: A Roadmap for Transforming Assets into Competitive Advantage Richard L. MacInnes & Stephen L. Pearce This book combines the concepts of enterprise asset management and the associated maintenance, repair, and operating/overhaul (MRO) materials supply chain. The book introduces the breakthrough Demand Supply Compression (DSC) methodology, which provides a practical path forward to guide an organization's thinking and doing as they seek performance improvement. Focused on achieving a future perfect and guided by meaningful principles, organizations will learn to apply compression strategies to drive out waste, time and non-value adding activities from their Strategic MRO practices. Like Lean, DSC is a breakthrough methodology that provides a practical path forward in performance improvement by changing a mind frame and the way in which work is performed. Strategic MRO includes Case Studies from a chemical company, a water utility, an automotive manufacturer, a mobile telecommunications company, a military base operation, and a truckload freight carrier. This is much more than a maintenance management or supply chain book because it encompasses both asset management and supply chain practices. If you are looking to transform your assets into a strategic advantage, you have found the right book.
