Report: The MRO strategy gap

Drawing on real-world data from 300 manufacturing executives, our research highlights four strategic gaps in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) and spare parts management facing the manufacturing industry today:

The inventory spend gap: Spare parts inventories are growing annually, yet stockouts of critical parts persist.
Working capital gap: Working capital is increasingly tied up, even though one in five parts will remain unused over the next five years.

Strategic gap: While MRO optimization improves operating margins, it remains a low strategic priority for most manufacturing executives.
MRO software gap: Although MRO software offers measurable benefits, including measurable inventory optimization, spend reduction, and efficiency gains, its adoption remains limited.
