13 March 2025

Event: the EPSA group is participating for the first time in the SITL — Stand T041 — and is hosting a discussion on optimizing MRO for industrial companies.

Event: The French group EPSA, a European expert in performance, will participate for the first time in the SITL 2025 trade show (April 1–3) and will speak on a key supply chain topic: “The Importance of MRO Stock Management in the Operational and Financial Performance of Industrial Companies,” on April 1, from 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM, at the “Conversations 1” space.

Stand T041, “Infrastructure and Territory” section – Multiple areas of expertise to support companies in their performance challenges

EPSA supports French and international economic players across several areas of expertise, including business transformation and energy. With a focus on operational, financial, and environmental performance, EPSA’s approach stands out by combining a variety of complementary technical skills.

In the field of supply chain and logistics, EPSA experts offer several key areas of intervention. On the transformation side: improving organizational performance, optimizing processes and EBITDA, enhancing customer satisfaction, digitizing operations, and securing supply chains. On the energy side: managing and optimizing energy contracts, designing customized procurement strategies, and supporting CSR initiatives—ranging from regulatory compliance to securing funding and reducing environmental impact.

A unique presentation on a core issue for major industrial companies

MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) inventory, if not properly managed, can quickly become a significant cost center for industrial sites. Efficient MRO stock management is therefore crucial. It requires aligning inventory levels with actual needs to avoid surplus that can undermine competitiveness. It also demands the use of the right digital tools to maintain a dynamic overview of stock levels. Additionally, companies must ensure compliance with environmental regulations to enable long-term, sustainable transformation of business processes.

Five key challenges are commonly faced:

  1. Managing inventory and logistics flows

  2. Treating MRO as a strategic priority

  3. Securing supply chains

  4. Digitizing MRO processes

  5. Complying with regulations and standards (REACH, RoHS, certifications)

This session aims to unpack the critical aspects of this vital supply chain link and provide actionable insights to help anticipate and master it.
