Releasing working capital through smarter maintenance and inventory

Outcome
Backlog down, working capital released

The context

Asset-intensive operators — defence, utilities & venues. Organisations maintaining capital equipment for critical services faced incomplete maintenance-system records, poor configuration management, imbalanced planned vs corrective maintenance, spares availability gaps, and slow survey-and-quote processes for external contractors.

What we did

  • Reviewed maintenance management system usage; remediated key data and configuration
  • Implemented KPIs and reporting for management and continuous improvement
  • Assessed inventory levels and segmentation — critical spares and rotables — in system and physically
  • Identified key inventory risks and vulnerabilities
  • Assessed internal vs outsourced service provision

The results

  • More efficient maintenance resources through better planning and scheduling
  • Reduced working capital with higher inventory and asset availability — dynamic safety stocks
  • Reduced maintenance backlog via faster contractor engagement
