Typically, indirect materials are managed at the plant level with manual check-in/check-out processes. Consumption data is not integrated with other supply chain management systems. Nexiant SIM automates time-consuming manual processes and provides tracking and reporting metrics required to ensure availability of critical MRO inventory. 

Integration of SIM with ERP/ MRP, customized procurement and suppliers’ electronic order systems facilitates the exchange of data that provides enterprise-wide MRO visibility that is not available with disparate systems to drive Continuous Improvement, Lean and Six Sigma programs.
