At CPO Outlook 2025, SPARETECH will host a Theme Discussion on how procurement can unlock savings and resilience in MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Operations) through data accuracy and collaboration. The session “Unlocking MRO Savings with Data and Collaboration” invites procurement professionals to discuss how fragmented spare parts data can be turned into a strategic lever for cost, risk, and sustainability outcomes.
Why this matters
MRO spend is often overlooked, fragmented across plants, and plagued by poor data quality. Yet, it represents significant hidden costs and risks. With growing pressure to reduce downtime, cut waste, and ensure supply continuity, procurement must find new ways to manage spare parts information and supplier collaboration. SPARETECH’s roundtable will explore how to shift from firefighting to foresight.
What will be discussed
- What makes MRO so difficult to control — and why now is the time to fix it?
- How can unified data and visibility help reduce cost and complexity?
- Who needs to be involved to drive change across procurement and production?
- To what extent can smarter MRO management support broader business continuity?
