Optimizing the MRO procurement process can reduce capital and improve efficiency, making it a very effective method.

  1. Supplier Evaluation and Selection
    • Establish a strict supplier evaluation system to assess potential suppliers from multiple dimensions. This includes evaluating the supplier's product quality, price, delivery time, after-sales service, etc. For example, for suppliers of industrial lubricants, one can check whether their products meet industry standards and whether they have quality certifications. At the same time, gather information from other companies that have used the supplier's products, such as the actual performance of the products and the supplier's on-time delivery rate.
    • Choose suppliers with good reputation and stable supply capabilities. Stability can be assessed by reviewing the supplier's business history, financial status, etc. For large enterprises, it is more secure to choose suppliers with a certain scale and industry recognition. For instance, when purchasing important production equipment repair parts, prioritize suppliers that have a long-term cooperative relationship with the equipment manufacturer or are recognized by the equipment manufacturer.
  2. Supplier Relationship Maintenance
    • Establish long-term partnerships with quality suppliers. Regularly communicate with suppliers to share the company's demand forecasts and procurement plans, allowing suppliers to prepare in advance. For example, companies can hold quarterly meetings with major suppliers to discuss the MRO procurement needs for the next quarter, including changes in quantity, specifications, expected delivery times, etc.
    • Implement supplier incentive measures, such as rewarding suppliers who deliver on time and have excellent product quality with certain incentives, which can include increasing purchase shares or early payments. This can enhance suppliers' motivation, thereby obtaining higher quality services and products.
