00:00Offering a complete overview of the trends, challenges and opportunities that Italian companies are taking, highlighting the transition from necessary spending to a strategic lever for business competitiveness.
00:16This is the objective of the third research on the procurement of indirect materials, commonly called MROs,
00:22Maintenance Repair Operations, conducted by RS Italia in collaboration with the Italian Purchasing and Supply Management Association and the European University of Rome, presented in Milan.
00:33From the MRO Research 2024, two key concepts emerge, maturity and digitization of business processes, real strategic pillars through which procurement evolves from simple cost management to competitive leverage.
00:48The world of MROs is an important world from the point of view of cost, from the point of view of purchases, from the point of view of hidden costs, behind a world that needs to access a variety of products and services that are very different, very different in terms of product categories, in terms of the nature of the product itself.
01:09And so, finding more strategic partners that can help in this process of rationalization of the suppliers themselves, a world in which digitization helps a lot with data accessibility and therefore the ability to have more control of the world of purchases to then generate more efficiency,
01:32which in a context in which the pressure is on cost, the issue related to the world of energy is becoming increasingly sensitive. Here, research helps us to go deep into understanding what the dynamics are from the point of view of the sector and customers.
01:49Research has analyzed the purchases of MROs and in particular the procurement behavior of companies, analyzing both the difficulties and the potentialities.
01:58The main difficulties are essentially having complete visibility of the needs in the company and aggregating the needs using the procurement office as the main vehicle for the rationalization of the expenditure.
02:13The potential of efficient management of MRO purchases is immense. We have seen this in the last triennium because we have understood that managing MROs in an efficient and rational way helps and supports corporate continuity.
02:28We have also understood that consolidated relationships with some suppliers, partnerships, with long-term orientations, generates a savings in terms of total cost of ownership, but also generates added value.
02:43From research, more maturity emerges in the role of purchases, but also in the management roles, in the productive part and in the management of business activities and needs. In this context, the president of ADACI illustrates future prospects.
02:57What is the future? It makes it structured by linking other researches that can become in the future a complete panel of the work of our associates, providing information on raw materials, on the progress of an MRO, but also on, for example, activities related to the world of sustainability, to the world of risk management and procurement, even to that of ADEI and various types of inclusion, which is another important theme that is emerging.
