Pain Point and Solutions Spotlight: Addressing MRO Challenges
This month we looked at two specific MRO pain points:
- Limited Real-Time Repair Status Visibility for Customers
- Maintenance and Calibration Process Causing Regulatory Risks and Workflow Delays
MROs face challenges providing customers with real-time visibility into repair order statuses, often causing communication gaps. Some customers require MROs to manually make status updates directly in their systems, which is a time-consuming process that adds complexity and impacts overall service quality.
By harnessing the power of RFID and Asset Tracking, implement a Real-Time Repair Status Portal accessible to customers, providing transparency into repair progress, milestones, and estimated completion times. Integrate this portal with the MRO's internal system to ensure automatic updates and reduced manual intervention.
Maintenance and calibration of tools in MROs require manual intervention, necessitating efforts to track tools due for calibration, prevent the use of overdue tools, and recall units worked on with overdue tools as a corrective action.
Additionally, mismanagement of tools in calibration can disrupt the repair process, as technicians depend on these tools to complete work orders, causing workflow delays and compliance issues.
To solve this pain point, MROs can setup an asset tracking system for maintenance and calibration of tooling that provides visibility into tool tracking, schedules maintenance, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements. Create a preventative mechanism for the use of overdue tools, and send automated reminders for calibration, thereby reducing regulatory risks and workflow delays.
