The effectiveness of procurement teams depends on the reliability of their data. However, this data is often incomplete or inaccurate, leading to inefficiencies, wasted resources, increased risk, and missed cost-saving opportunities. To overcome these challenges, it’s essential to move away from traditional approaches and adopt modern, data-driven strategies that unlock the true potential of MRO data.
Key elements of data-driven operations:
- Data reliability fosters alignment between procurement and operations
- Intuition-based MRO management is unreliable
- ERPs often lack the context needed for MRO decision-making
- AI/ML-driven approaches enhance decision-making
- Specialized software provides deeper insights from data
