Share Optimizing inventory for maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) is one of the hardest challenges for managers involved in asset care. Stocking too little or the wrong items can increase machine downtime, but carrying too many ties up capital unnecessarily, requires more storage space and risks waste due to obsolescence. An emerging innovation in MRO operations is the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
