Smart MRO buyers work closely with colleagues in maintenance and manufacturing to manage categories of MRO spending. Once they've identified requirements and consolidated spending with a few key suppliers, they work toward streamlining internal processes and improving manufacturing uptime. As a single channel for a multitude of goods and services, a preferred supplier helps by identifying best practices for workflow, suggesting new products and materials, offering technical assistance and providing supply chain efficiency. To learn more about how MRO buyers and suppliers work together on "Successful MRO Category Management," attend PURCHASING magazine's Global Procurement Conference on Oct. 13-14. This session promises to provide attendees with a clear explanation of MRO category management as well as insight into successful MRO sourcing strategy. This online conference is free.
