MRO Spend Management

Add comment September 14th, 2006 David Bush - Iasta

Aberdeen has a new report being surveyed and prepared right now. The details, per Aberdeen, were sent to me and are here:

The category of Maintenance, Repair and Operating (MRO) items has recently been seen as an opportunity for an enterprise to realize costs savings. Recent Aberdeen Group benchmarks show MRO as a top priority in terms of categories to focus on for cost-savings efforts.

Please take 3 to 5 minutes to complete this Aberdeen survey on MRO supplies that will shape our upcoming MRO Spend Management Benchmark Report.

Previous findings include:

* MRO is in the early stages as a category “to-be-sourced” by 67% of the respondents of a recent Aberdeen survey
* MRO is 26% of the total spend of a company (on average), and can be as high as 63%
* In a 2004 Aberdeen study, the average savings of MRO programs are 6% and can be as high as 25%

All respondents will each receive a COMPLIMENTARY copy of the report upon publication. Participate in the survey by clicking here or follow the link below.
