What is MRO Supply Chain?

What is the MRO Supply Chain?

The MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) supply chain refers to the processes involved in sourcing, storing, and distributing spare parts, consumables, and critical equipment used to keep assets running. Unlike production materials, MRO items don’t go directly into the final product but are essential for avoiding downtime, ensuring compliance, and maintaining safety standards.

Why is the MRO Supply Chain Important?

An efficient MRO supply chain helps companies:

  • Minimize unplanned downtime by ensuring the right parts are available.
  • Optimize costs by reducing excess inventory and avoiding emergency purchases.
  • Improve supplier collaboration and lead-time management.
  • Enhance visibility and control over indirect spend, which often accounts for 30–40% of procurement costs.

When MRO supply chains are fragmented, organizations risk higher costs, stockouts, and inefficiencies.
