What is MRO?
Maintenance, Repair and Operations: generally, the term refers to materials and services that do not go directly into the end product but are used by the plant to maintain, repair or operate the machinery and processes used in the actual manufacturing activity. MRO items include the following types of supplies: blue-print tooling, computer supplies, cutting tools/abrasives, engineering supplies, filtration supplies, gloves & safety supplies, fasteners, hand tools, electrical, electronic, fluid power, OEM spare parts, power transmission, raw material, repair, machine and electrical spare parts in addition to other indirect material such as office supplies and general equipment.
How does Ideal Setech differentiate from Distributor-based Integrators?
Ideal Setech is a Pure Integrator, acting as a neutral third party, not looking to push a particular brand of product. Pure Integrators do not apply a markup to any of the products or services provided to the end customer by OEM’s, manufacturers or distributors. All materials and services are a straight pass-through with the integrator providing value-added management and technical support services at a nominal fee.
How does Ideal Setech measure the cost savings they produce?
Cost savings metrics are an important part of the Ideal Setech site management process. Ideal Setech managers use a proprietary system to ensure program objectives are being achieved. Savings are validated by a client approval process that assures savings goals not only meet, but exceed client expectations. See our Cost Savings Program.
How does Ideal Setech charge for services?
A monthly management fee is established based on a customer’s MRO activity, scale and scope. Ideal Setech does not markup any product purchases; all purchases are passed on to our customer at cost.
What is covered in Ideal Setech’s Management Fees?
Ideal Setech will procure all plant floor MRO supply items including optimized tool crib and warehouse inventory; manage the tool cribs and warehouses; provide the technical leadership that yields cost savings in cost areas of the tool cribs and warehouses and the customer’s processes; systematically monitor key areas of tool crib and warehouse performance and prepare performance reports for review with local Company site management.
