准备 2021 年 MRO 预算

Facility managers will need to plan next year’s MRO /PPE budgets with careful 保持运行和安全的注意事项 随着制造业的发展。您预计 2021 年的预算是多少，以确保您避免不必要的停机并计划安全的一年？

MRO 对比个人防护装备

首先，我们需要快速区分 MRO 和 PPE。 MRO 代表维护、维修和运营。这些是在制造工厂的生产过程中使用的材料、设备和用品，但通常不是正在生产的成品的一部分。它涵盖员工安全工作和生产车间保持运营所需的基本用品。 PPE（个人防护设备）是 MRO 的一个子集，通常指个人佩戴的任何安全设备，例如面罩或手套。

Pro Tip: Don’t order PPE with a scarcity mindset (like toilet paper in March of 2020). The good news is, while there was a PPE shortage months ago, existing producers acted quickly and ramped up production, while other manufacturers retooled their existing lines or partnered with government agencies to produce more and stabilize supply.

要包含在预算中的 MRO 类型

MRO 范围很广，可能包括维修和/或维护设施系统所需的许多不同项目：

• 手套、口罩和其他安全设备
• 清洁或清洁用品
• 阀门、泵和其他工业设备
• 油和润滑油
• 维修工具
• 办公用品
• 标准紧固件

According to Thomasnet, MRO generally falls into these categories:

• 基础设施维修和保养
• 生产设备维修保养
• 物料搬运设备维护
• 工具和消耗品

专业提示：预算支出可能因行业和生产设备的健康状况而异。例如，新设备的维护成本可能只占您支出的一小部分，通常低于 2%。对于拥有旧设备的公司，维修费用可能高达年度预算的 40%。

How To Order MRO & PPE

There’s a 进入 2021 年的不确定性很大 and it’s presenting some unique circumstances for facilities and operations professionals responsible for nailing their budgets. As COVID-19 cases soar in many states and Flu season nearly upon us, the coming winter months likely will present stricter social distancing protocols than we saw over the summer.

It’s important to ensure that your employees use recommended safety equipment and materials so that they (and their families) can stay safe and operations remain predictable.

在准备 MRO 预算时，需要考虑以下五件事。

1盘点

Take stock of the products you’re currently using and identify potential areas for consolidation or standardization. Buy products in bulk to maximize savings and ensure that your supply remains stable. Lack of MRO inventory can lead to costly sick days, production delays, and downtime for deep cleaning and equipment repairs.

2 寻找可靠且对财务负责的供应商

Look for an MRO/PPE supplier that understands the balance of ethical and fiscal responsibility required to help keep your operations running safely. This means sourcing high-quality products, in the highest quantities needed, so that you receive the best price possible from reliable sources–and a deep understanding of current trends to improve your purchasing power.

3 使用实时数据跟踪库存

Use real-time data and reporting to better understand your MRO usage and inventory. For example, our OptiTech inventory management programs use the latest RFID technology to provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and automate replenishment. Optimas’ demand planning and forecasting tools use predictive analysis and machine learning to improve your forecast accuracy. These ensure a mathematical relationship between supply and demand and that critical items are always available for your teams.

4 为意外做好准备

选择一个 MRO 供应商，它可以访问所有主要制造商并且能够快速添加新供应商和产品以满足您的需求。灵活应对不断变化的条件和/或提供具有快速周转时间的物品仍然至关重要。

专业提示：留意新产品和技术，例如免提温度和消毒站，以减少交叉污染并创造更健康的工作环境。

安全应该立即推动您的决定

Many manufactures have dedicated workplace safety teams, but this coming year, safety will be everyone’s responsibility. Balancing your ability to 生产你的产品–while keeping your employees (and their families) safe–is the most important driver of decisions right now.
