Almost every type of industry whether from manufacturing, processing, pharmaceutical, power plants, mining, construction, aviation, oil and gas have a storeroom in place to keep their spare parts. There are two main goals of MRO Spare Parts and Storeroom, which is quite conflicting.

It may sound conflicting or contradicting but thinking about this thoroughly it is really not conflicting if the MRO Storeroom is well managed. The role of maintenance is to make the equipment available. If the equipment fails and the part is not available in the storeroom, the machine becomes idle and operation is halt. On the contrary, we just cannot simply stock every single part of every piece of equipment we have in the plant that is if your industry still wants to remain in business.The items inside the storeroom can range from 1,000 for a small-scale industry to more than 200,000 parts or even more for a large-scale industry.
