Deep expertise · Critical Spares Assurance

We find what can actually
stop your plant.

A structured discovery that works with your data, your drawings and your people — never writing to your systems. Five workstreams, one register: every asset that can stop production, and the spares that protect it.

The part costs €600.
The stoppage costs €500,000.
Discovery closes the gap between the two — before failure, not after.

Because every plant has unknowns

Register with gaps

What is not in the CMMS has no spares strategy. Commonly a third of the items that can stop production are missing or duplicated.

Drawings out of date

The part in the field is not the revision in the archive. Reordering becomes guesswork, and the wrong part arrives after the long wait.

Criticality blurred

Everything is critical, so nothing is. Without redundancy and production value there is no ranking and no basis for spend.

Stores without a link

30 to 50 percent of MRO value is dead capital, while the one part that matters has zero holding.

Five workstreams, in this order

The order carries meaning: without the register there is no drawing check, without criticality there is no ranking, without a ranking there is no priced lead time.

WS1

Asset baseline

Register extract checked, hierarchy reconciled, missing and duplicate items found.

WS2

Drawing to field

P&ID set walked down against the plant. What is installed but undrawn becomes visible.

WS3

Criticality & SCE

Redundancy, train configuration, safety critical elements and production value. Half-day moderation workshop.

WS4

Spares data

Material master, bills of material, stock levels and 24 months of movements. Missing holding, and where capital sleeps.

WS5

Lead time & risk

Confirmed production values, lead times and sourcing status. Every gap priced per day of stoppage.

Milestone & handover

The Critical Spares Risk Register.

One document in which every item that can stop production sits with its criticality tier, holding position, lead-time exposure and cost of stoppage per day — ranked by production risk, not habit. At the handover gate you decide which positions to close first.

The discovery methodology remains the intellectual property of AR Consulting. The register belongs to you.

What we need from you

Raw exports are fine.

A named sponsor, an asset boundary marked on a drawing, extracts from the CMMS, document control and stores, and 30–45 minutes of interview time per function. We fetch everything else ourselves.

Week 1

Unlock the start

Sponsor, asset boundary, register extract and coding standard — enough to fix scope honestly.

Weeks 2–5

Run the workstreams

P&IDs, walkdown access, criticality basis, material master, production values and lead times.

Start with one
asset boundary.

A 45-minute scoping call is enough to fix scope, duration and sample honestly.
