CBT's asset management solutions maximize your profitability without compromising your plant performance. We develop a tailored Rockwell Automation Parts Management Agreement (PMA) to ensure the availability of your spares parts and stabilize your maintenance budget. Inventory will be stocked at your site but owned by Rockwell Automation.

Step 1: Evaluate - The first step in cost reduction is an assessment of your current process for MRO inventory management and maintenance needs. IT is also vital to assess your installed base of automation equipment and spares inventory.

Step 2: Design - Identify process efficiencies and areas to improve inventory and production issues, which may include:

Storeroom management redesign
MRO process management redesign
Reporting and dashboard creation
Inventory rationalization and reduction
Equipment migration prioritization
Preventive maintenance prioritization

Step 3: Implement - Implement ROI-driven processes that will improve productivity, lower costs and enable financial predictability.

Step 4: Measure & Optimize - Use measurement and dashboard reporting tools to drive continuous improvement, helping you meet business goals such as improved regulatory compliance, faster time to market and reduced production costs.

Parts Management Agreement (PMA)

A PMA reviews your installed base of components and develops a list of the correct parts you need in your storeroom. The inventory is owned by Rockwell Automation but stocked at your location. For a monthly fee, you have the protection you need without spending a large portion of your capital budget for on-hand inventory. Additionally, you receive a more robust warranty, pay a reduced price for a replacement, and never have to worry about being burdened with obsolete items.

Inventory Assurance

How often do you find expensive electrical and automation components sitting on your shelf with an opened box, no box, or a thick layer of dust? Are these items still fully reliable and safe to use? CBT and Rockwell Automation have an Inventory Assurance program which can answer these questions for you and provide you peace of mind. Some standard services include:

Comprehensive inspection testing
Pass/Fail testing caused by:

Broken seals
Environmental exposure
Extended shelf life
Out-of-date firmware
