準備 2021 年 MRO 預算

Facility managers will need to plan next year’s MRO /PPE budgets with careful 保持運行和安全的注意事項 隨著製造業的發展。您預計 2021 年的預算是多少，以確保您避免不必要的停機併計劃安全的一年？

MRO 對比個人防護裝備

首先，我們需要快速區分 MRO 和 PPE。 MRO 代表維護、維修和運營。這些是在製造工廠的生產過程中使用的材料、設備和用品，但通常不是正在生產的成品的一部分。它涵蓋員工安全工作和生產車間保持運營所需的基本用品。 PPE（個人防護設備）是 MRO 的一個子集，通常指個人佩戴的任何安全設備，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.

要包含在預算中的 MRO 類型

MRO 範圍很廣，可能包括維修和/或維護設施系統所需的許多不同項目：

• 手套、口罩和其他安全設備
• 清潔或清潔用品
• 閥門、泵和其他工業設備
• 油和潤滑油
• 維修工具
• 辦公用品
• 標準緊固件

According to Thomasnet, MRO generally falls into these categories:

• 基礎設施維修和保養
• 生產設備維修保養
• 物料搬運設備維護
• 工具和消耗品

專業提示：預算支出可能因行業和生產設備的健康狀況而異。例如，新設備的維護成本可能只佔您支出的一小部分，通常低於 2%。對於擁有舊設備的公司，維修費用可能高達年度預算的 40%。

How To Order MRO & PPE

There’s a 進入 2021 年的不確定性很大 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.

在準備 MRO 預算時，需要考慮以下五件事。

1盤點

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 尋找可靠且對財務負責的供應商

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 使用實時數據跟踪庫存

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 為意外做好準備

選擇一個 MRO 供應商，它可以訪問所有主要製造商並且能夠快速添加新供應商和產品以滿足您的需求。靈活應對不斷變化的條件和/或提供具有快速周轉時間的物品仍然至關重要。

專業提示：留意新產品和技術，例如免提溫度和消毒站，以減少交叉污染並創造更健康的工作環境。

安全應該立即推動您的決定

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