Industrial MRO procurement: getting hard-to-find parts without a dozen suppliers

Plants usually have good suppliers for the common parts. The trouble is the obsolete motor, the odd bearing or the part from a manufacturer that no longer exists.

Send the nameplate

A clear photo of the nameplate or the part number is worth more than a description. It allows cross-referencing to current equivalents.

Know the options

Authorized new, surplus new, rebuilt and modern replacement each carry different lead times and risk. Ask for each option priced.

Use blanket orders for consumables

Scheduled releases against a blanket order keep filters, belts and PPE on the shelf without a purchase order every week.
