Businesses assume that their storeroom data is accurate with respect to the simple identification of parts and assets. This is so often not the case. Every storeroom has duplicate parts – same parts, different identifications. Such duplication promotes excess holdings and can also affect part shortages when one part name is needed but not held – and the same part is on-hand by a different ID. One of the initial steps of any MRO optimization is through MRO Data Cleansing . To maximize return on investment, asset and inventory data must be accurate and in a standardized form. Companies should building databases that ensure the integrity and accuracy of inventory information. With accurate and reliable database information, companies can keep lower inventory levels and create “data-driven” purchasing. Data cleansing helps companies edit and clean existing inventory data and create an accurate baseline database.

Once assets and parts have been identified, classified, categorized, grouped, and standardized for identification and data gathering purposes, and once optimum storeroom management processes have been set in place and are being actively used by all concerned stakeholders, the job of best practices storeroom operation is not over. MRO data cleansing should be an on-going activity for best results. A business must recognize that actually executing MRO data cleansing will require some outside assistance. This assistance will likely come in the form of consultancy – contracting with storeroom management experts to assist in data cleansing, storeroom organization, and on-going storeroom operating maintenance. This effort will also involve some computerization of storeroom organization and managing.
