The storeroom provides all the materials needed to maintain a smoothly operating manufacturing environment. Excess or insufficient spares, unmanaged inventory, and inefficient processes not only add cost, but can also have a negative impact on a stable production environment and predictable operating budget. To help reduce your overall costs, increase uptime, and optimize inventory levels, Rockwell Automation and CBT Company offer Storeroom Services. Our proven methodology helps improve your inventory practices by setting in place skilled storeroom personnel, management, standard operating procedures, and technologies to manage and optimize your MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) inventory levels. We work with you to meet your specific business objectives by customizing these processes and technologies.

Step 1-Evaluate
Your storeroom supports maintenance needs to be as reliable as the people and equipment in your production environment. A storeroom assessment includes an analysis of your storeroom design, layout, inventory management processes, and storeroom operations.
Step 2-Design
Once we have performed your storeroom assessment, we deliver our recommendations, along with the financial impact of the identified issues. Keeping your KPIs and business drivers in the forefront, we partner with you to design a solution that tackles the identified issues. We develop a project plan and timeline that outlines the steps needed to meet your objectives.
Step 3-Implement
What differentiates our approach is that we partner with you to implement your selected recommendations and treat the entire process as a project, complete with milestones. We provide a reliability manager to drive your storeroom project and execute on the project plan, including agreed-upon deliverables, documentation, and sign-off milestones.
Step 4-Measure & Optimize
Our storeroom services impact a variety of KPIs such as fill rate, turns, and inventory accuracy, which were identified in the assessment and evaluation phase. Each project is executed against the KPIs so that you see results. Improved storeroom customer service is another common result of our storeroom services.
