Can we trust our master data, and what is it costing us?
Operations carrying large SAP MM or Maximo master data: duplicate materials, inconsistent descriptions, broken equipment-material links.
Teams already running active master-data governance who know their duplicate rate and lead-time drift.
About six weeks. Roughly a day of your team’s time, front-loaded.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchWhich assets actually matter, and which spares do they depend on?
Sites with a large asset register where criticality is inconsistent, years out of date, or was never linked through to spares.
Operations already running an agreed criticality framework applied consistently across the register.
About four weeks for one process area. Longer across a full site.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchWhere is our inventory capital tied up, and how do we release it without risking service?
Operations running a large MRO catalogue who want stock reduced steadily, with every change reviewed and loaded back into the ERP.
Teams wanting a one-off report. This is a standing programme with quarterly cycles and a running record of what changed.
A standing programme in quarterly cycles. Roughly two days of reviewer time per quarter.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchWhat min and max should this material actually be set to?
Planners whose reorder points were set years ago, by rule of thumb, or by a formula that assumes demand it does not have.
Fast, smooth, predictable demand where a simple moving average is already doing the job.
Two to three weeks for a material class. Very little of your team’s time once the data is out.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchWhat keeps breaking, and what is it costing us?
Maintenance teams sitting on years of work orders and notifications whose free text nobody has ever analysed at scale.
Sites with under a year of history, or where work orders are logged too sparsely to carry a signal.
About six weeks. Roughly a day of your team’s time, front-loaded.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchThe OEM handed us a spares list. How much of it do we actually need?
Anyone commissioning new equipment and holding a vendor’s recommended spare parts list worth millions.
Sites with no new capital projects, or where the spares package is already contractually fixed.
Three to five weeks per equipment package, and it runs alongside commissioning.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchWhich vendors are actually costing us more than they quote?
Procurement teams with a few years of purchasing history who suspect price and delivery performance have drifted.
Operations with a handful of vendors, or too little transaction history to separate signal from noise.
Four to six weeks. Roughly a day of your team’s time.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchFor this material, which vendor should we award, and can we show why?
Category leads making award decisions across many materials who need the reasoning recorded, not just the outcome.
One-off purchases, or categories where the vendor is already mandated by contract.
Three to four weeks to stand up, then it runs per material as decisions come.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchWhat changed this quarter, and what should we do about it?
Operations already running an inventory or maintenance programme who need a regular, honest read on where it stands.
Teams before a baseline exists. There needs to be something to review against.
One cycle per quarter. About half a day of your team’s time each time.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchCan we see where our MRO position stands without waiting for a report?
Teams who want their inventory and requisition position live, scoped by plant, without exporting to a spreadsheet first.
Operations whose questions change every week. A bespoke study answers those better than a fixed dashboard.
Four to six weeks to build. Refreshes on your schedule after that.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare.
Get in touchSome questions do not fit a standard piece of work. Tell us yours and we will say whether it is one for us.
Every offering here started as one operation’s question. None began as a product, so a question that fits none of the tiles is the ordinary case rather than an awkward one. What gets built follows what you need to decide.
Three engines already exist: JourneySim for simulation over demand and lead times, JourneyCast for forecasting, JourneyAI for free text. Work starts from those, not from nothing.
We know MRO. You deal directly with whoever builds it, with no account layer in between.
Small on purpose: a few clients at a time, projects measured in weeks. Good for a contained question, wrong for anything involving dozens or hundreds of staff.
For an ERP implementation or to fill internal staffing gaps, a large vendor might serve you better.
A half-hour call to talk it through. No commitment, nothing to prepare. Or write to hello@journeymro.com with a description of the problem and we will tell you whether we can help.
