Governed layer, no rip-and-replace

A multinational manufacturer operating dozens of mills and plants, whose estate had recently grown through a major corporate combination. With the combination came a familiar inheritance: multiple ERP environments, the same parts held under different records at different sites, and a group-wide mandate to deliver synergies and release cash, but limited dedicated capacity to work through spare parts inventory site by site.

MRO360 was deployed as a governed intelligence layer on the operator's existing ERP estate, reading the records already in each system, generating recommendations across sites, and writing approved changes back with a full audit trail.

Every recommendation is explainable and human-approved, nothing executes without sign-off. Because it works from each system's own records, it operates today while broader post-combination harmonisation proceeds, rather than waiting for it.

All figures in this case study are expressed as ratios to protect the customer's confidentiality. Every finding was computed directly from the customer's own system extract, not estimated, not benchmarked.

Die Herausforderung

Rich records, no one interrogating them

The mills carried detailed inventory records: stock levels, maximum-level settings, movement history, criticality flags. What was missing wasn't the information, it was the capacity to interrogate it at estate scale and turn the answers into governed action.

  • Inventory sat above maximum stock levels at site after site, quietly rebuilding after every manual review.
  • The same part was held under a single record but bought from different approved manufacturers by different business units, so one site's surplus was invisible to another site's buyer.
  • Dormant stock accumulated for years, because no one owned the question of what had stopped moving.

The download covers the full diagnostic findings, the module-by-module detail behind each one, and how the business case was sized and de-duplicated to survive finance review.

  • The five modules behind the value drivers, and exactly what changed in this engagement
  • How the addressable pool was computed and de-duplicated from the customer's own system extract
  • Why a conservative 10% capture was used as the base case, and what was deliberately left out as upside

What the diagnostic found

Every figure below was computed directly from the customer's own system extract, de-duplicated, and reviewable line by line.

MetrischErgebnis
Dead capital42% of inventory value, no goods movement in 24 months
Addressable pool~Half of analysed inventory value, de-duplicated
Time to findingsDays, from system extract to validated results
Base case captureA conservative 10% of the addressable pool
Recurring saving~22% per year in carrying cost on capital released
Engagement cost vs. poolIdentified pool exceeded engagement cost by two orders of magnitude

Excluded from the headline case entirely: avoided downtime from better critical-spare availability, reduced expedite purchasing, planner productivity, and warehouse-space recovery, treated as additional upside rather than baked into the numbers above.

Was Sie lernen werden

Inside the full diagnostic

  • How Obsolescence Check isolated the 42% of inventory value that hadn't moved in 24 months and attached a disposition recommendation to each item.
  • How Dynamic Reorder Point right-sized the settings driving a further tranche of still-moving parts sitting above maximum stock, so excess stopped rebuilding after every manual cleanup.
  • How Search and Visibility resolved a single bearing record transacted by five business units against three interchangeable approved manufacturers, closing the ambiguity that had hidden a redeployment opportunity.
  • Wie Unternehmensübergreifende Transferintelligenz matched surplus at one site against shortage at another, so stock already on the shelf became supply instead of a new purchase.
  • How Criticality Scoring kept the spares that protect uptime fully stocked while the non-moving and over-max tail was reduced.
  • Why a conservative capture of just 10% of the addressable pool was used as the base case, leaving the bulk as documented headroom, with recurring carrying-cost savings compounding every year after.
