Lower MRO inventory with assured availability

Logio partnered with ORLEN Unipetrol to right‑size spare parts and materials inventory while maintaining uptime‑critical availability.

Outcome

We segmented the portfolio, forecasted planned and unplanned consumption, and set optimal stock policies with automated purchasing. Inventory value dropped while availability risks for critical parts were eliminated.

Initial challenge

High capital tied in MRO materials and spare parts with a need to keep maintenance availability optimal.

Project goal

Reduce working capital without compromising the availability of critical spare parts.

Solution

From criticality to policy: a disciplined MRO playbook

We combined feasibility sizing, demand behavior analysis, and criticality‑based policies to optimize stock levels and streamline purchasing.

01

Feasibility study

to size savings potential, benchmark practices, and draft an action plan per entity.

02

Portfolio segmentation

 of all items by relevant criteria.

03

Demand prediction

for planned and unplanned consumption from historical patterns.

04

Criticality analysis

and policy setting to define optimal min/max and reorder parameters.

05

Procurement automation

for spare parts aligned to the new policies.

Make your maintenance stock lighter and safer

If spare parts tie up capital or threaten uptime, we can help design criticality‑based policies and automate replenishment. Let’s discuss an MRO inventory program that protects availability and frees cash.

We tackled many supply chain challenges

Maintenance optimization for Z‑Group Steel

Logio helped Železárny Hrádek redesign its maintenance strategy, organisation and processes, which improved the balance of preventive and corrective maintenance, shortened repairs and reduced production downtime.

Improvement in the ratio between corrective and preventive maintenance

Shorter repair times and higher availability of key production equipment

Reduced frequency of unplanned downtime and a positive effect on production KPIs and profitability

Production ramp up support for Grupo Antolin Turnov

Grupo Antolin Turnov secured the on‑time launch of a new automotive interior production line by combining crisis management, material flow design and dynamic simulation with Logio’s support. The project delivered a validated logistics concept and reduced risk at start‑up.

New interior production started on the original target date.

New logistics concept for the line prepared, implemented and executed.

Key risks and bottlenecks verified and mitigated in simulation before go‑live.
