Cost Optimization in Maintenance, Repair & Operating Supply (MRO) with ERA Group
For organisations in the manufacturing sector, operational supplies are the lifeblood of the business.
Depending on the business, this can include factory consumables, chemicals and industrial gases, lab supplies, MRO supplies, and packaging.
An organisation’s ability to control the total manufacturing costs of these supplies — direct manufacturing costs and variable costs — is vital to an organisation’s financial health.
ERA can assess expenses to find manufacturing cost-savings opportunities. We help determine if incumbent suppliers are offering the most advantageous pricing for operational supplies, applying years of experience and supplier knowledge to improve companies’ cash flow.
Within the ERA network of experts, we have a wide range of individuals with first hand practical experience in managing operational supplies. Our detailed auditing process ensures a thorough understanding of your business and work practises in order to best advise you moving forward.

Operating Supply
Factory consumables must be replaced regularly as part of the manufacturing process. Controlling the total manufacturing costs of these supplies — direct manufacturing costs and variable manufacturing costs — is vital to an organization’s financial health, as it the monitoring of the major trends and development on the market.
ERA Group supports businesses in providing their specialist knowledge to support their operations and assess cost-savings opportunities.
Maintenance & Repair
Maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies and services are indispensable to routine operations, but not many companies have the time and resources to follow market trends and prices for all segments.
ERA Group helps businesses to maximize their efficiency and spending in the MRO cost category.
