Supply Excellence — Survey Opportunity: MRO Procurement Catalog Management

Survey Opportunity: MRO Procurement Catalog Management

April 23rd, 2007 · by Tim Minahan · No Comments · supply management

It’s no secret to the readers of this blog that I’m a proponent of learning from the example of leading companies and adopting best practices whenever possible. So thought I’d add a quick post to pass along an opportunity to participate in a new survey from ARC Advisory Group. The survey is designed to explore manufacturers’ use and management of online purchasing catalogs for the procurement of MRO materials. It will examine the range of practices for managing catalog content and for integrating with suppliers and other internal systems. In exchange for your participation, you’ll receive a complimentary copy of the results and a peek at related best practices. A classic win-win.

For asset-intensive manufacturers, MRO is a major expense. The use of online catalogs can result in reduced procurement costs, increased productivity and even improved visibility and compliance. Take the survey and find out where your organization falls in the spectrum of performance. You never know what tip you might find in the results.
