  • IHS Intermat Solutions optimize and manage MRO item descriptions and inventory.

    Asset intensive organizations manage tens of thousands of items - spare parts, materials, chemicals, equipment and supplies - kept in stock to keep their plants and facilities up and running. This MRO inventory can represent as much as 15% of procurement spend and 75% of purchase requisitions.

    IHS Intermat helps companies optimize their indirect and MRO inventory by:
    • Cleansing, standardizing and enriching MRO item descriptions using the Standard Modifier Dictionary™ (SMD™)
    • Managing item descriptions on an ongoing basis, either by providing catalog management software (Struxure™) or outsourcing daily catalog maintenance directly to IHS Intermat.
    • Adjusting inventory Order Points (OP), Order Quantities (OQ), and Lead Times (LT) – using IHS MRO Inventory Optimizer powered by xIO™.
  • Reduce Inventory, Downtime and Costs

    IHS Intermat is the only solution that offers all of the necessary components to thoroughly and accurately manage MRO item descriptions and optimize inventory.

    • Cleanse, standardize and enrich item descriptions with the only solution that incorporates both automated conversion software and item-by-item content review by experienced materials analysts.
    • Standard Modifier Dictionary™, the worldwide standard for describing MRO items, with 2,500 pre-defined formats that serve as foundation for material master standardization.  
    • Struxure® catalog management software with integration connectors to all major ERP and EAM systems. 
    • IHS MRO Inventory Optimizer powered by xIO™, the only industry and commercially proven, web-based solution expressly designed for use with MRO inventories to dynamically monitor and adjust order points, order quantities and lead times.
    • Intermat OptiX™ analyzes the strategies, practices and analytics for the work streams associated with each asset life cycle phase, delivering a comprehensive assessment and recommendations for complete MRO supply chain management. Download the Intermat OptiX Brochure (PDF)  
  • Without clean, standardized and enriched data, companies cannot realize the full value of their EAM/ERP/MDM applications. IHS Intermat integrates with these critical business applications and enhances their capabilities to address MRO inventory and materials management.
