Cost optimization in maintenance, repair & operating supply (MRO)
For organizations in the manufacturing sector, operational supplies are the lifeblood of the business. Depending on the business, this can include factory consumables, chemicals & industrial gases, lab supplies, MRO supplies, and packaging.
An organization’s ability to control the total manufacturing costs of these supplies—direct manufacturing costs and variable costs—is vital to its financial health.
ERA Group can assess expenses to find manufacturing cost-saving opportunities. We help determine if incumbent suppliers offer the most advantageous pricing for operational supplies, applying years of experience and supplier knowledge to improve companies’ cash flow.
