A key success factor
Whatever route is chosen, there will be a need to balance cost with the operational and technical needs of the sites and, in some cases, the culture of the organisation. To aid the decision-making process, the procurement professional should involve the ultimate customers – plant managers, maintenance engineers, supervisors and so on - who can provide valuable insight into service and technical requirements. The engagement, or otherwise, of these individuals is a key determinant of the success or failure of the strategy.
For any large facility with a significant engineering spares requirement, establishing an Insite™ is a genuine and viable possibility. It can open up significant cost savings and productivity benefits through a single source of supply, and offer a range of value-added services.
