Inventory control for maintenance means having the right product and materials when and where you need it. Having too much material, not enough material, or having to search for the material lead to higher cost and can mean longer downtimes not to mention frustration!

This 2-day workshop focuses on building an inventory management and control system that will lead to better control through optimization of inventory quantities, organization of inventory and access to inventory.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to go back to their facility and immediately apply what they learned to help implement a system that organizes their inventory and lowers their inventory cost.
