Summary
Multi-site manufacturers face a familiar set of MRO challenges: unreliable spare parts data, misaligned processes, siloed teams, and technology that wasn't built to scale. These complexities made it harder for maintenance and procurement teams to coordinate sourcing decisions, manage inventory consistently, and scale MRO processes across the organization.
In this webinar, Sabert Corporation, a leading global food packaging manufacturer will share how addressing these challenges holistically can unlock new levels of operational efficiency and resilience. Drawing on real-world experience, the session explores how standardizing spare parts data and establishing clear governance models lays the groundwork for more efficient operations, better cross-site coordination, and long-term MRO resilience.
If spare parts complexity is slowing your team down, this session offers a concrete, real-world look at what's possible when data, processes, and people are finally aligned.
Key Takeaways:
- How cross-site spare parts transparency supports better maintenance planning and reduces unplanned downtime risk
- How standardized and automated processes reduced manual effort and improved day-to-day maintenance workflow.
- The human side of MRO transformation: driving adoption, managing resistance, and building internal buy-in
