What is MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations)?

MRO refers to the activities involved in the maintenance, repair, and upkeep of physical assets, machinery, equipment, and infrastructure necessary for the day-to-day operations of an organization.

MRO encompasses a wide range of tasks and processes aimed at ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of assets, as well as minimizing downtime and optimizing operational efficiency. This includes routine maintenance, inspections, repairs, spare parts management, inventory control, and facility management.

Efficient MRO management is critical for industries such as manufacturing, utilities, transportation, and facilities management, where downtime due to equipment failure can lead to significant production losses or service disruptions. Many organizations invest in MRO software and systems to streamline maintenance processes, track asset performance, manage inventory, and schedule maintenance activities effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) refers to a range of activities that keep a company running on a day- to-day basis. Companies rely on their supply chains to provide the materials, tools and components they need for MRO activities. The items that each company stores for this purpose are known as MRO inventory.

MRO inventory includes consumables, tools and spare parts. Examples include janitorial supplies, safety equipment, maintenance and repair supplies, technology, office supplies and laboratory equipment.

Without MRO inventory, manufacturers would not be able to operate. Companies depend on having items as varied as replacement parts, janitorial supplies and office supplies on hand so their daily activities can continue uninterrupted.

MRO inventory comprises the consumable materials, equipment and supplies needed for maintenance, repair and operations activities. MRO includes items that are used in a production process but unlike raw materials — are not incorporated into a company's finished products. Spare parts and tools for repairing manufacturing equipment are MRO inventory items, as are gloves and goggles used by plant workers. MRO inventory affects the productivity of virtually every department, so it's vital to maintain enough MRO inventory to keep the business running while also not overstocking.

MRO Inventory Examples

MRO inventory includes a very wide range of equipment and supplies. Examples include:

  • Maintenance and repair supplies for production machinery: Machine oil and other lubricants, light bulbs, valves, bearings, cutting fluid and spare parts, such as motors and gears.
  • Safety equipment: Masks, ear plugs, hard hats, respirators and face shields.
  • Janitorial supplies: Disinfecting and cleaning sprays, liquids and powders, mops, buckets, brooms, rags and dust cloths and disposable gloves.
  • Office supplies: Personal computers, printers and toner, furniture, paper, pens, and pencils.
  • Laboratory supplies for testing or research: Beakers, syringes, test tubes and scales.
