Succeed with Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Outsourcing
Introduction
Outsourcing of Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) to a third-party service provider is now emerging as a credible solution for organizations that would like to offer benefits beyond spend reduction. This in itself can offer savings in the range of 10 to 20 percent.
The rising awareness of outsourcing benefits resulting from MRO is driving increased adoption of MRO outsourcing over time. Consequently, Procurement Outsourcing (PO) contracts with MRO category in scope show a phenomenal growth of nearly 35 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2005 to 2010.
There are multiple flavors to outsourcing MRO – from piece-meal approaches involving sourcing through aggregators, Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI), and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) outsourcing, to end-to-end comprehensive outsourcing that spans across planning/forecasting, sourcing, procurement, and inventory management.
In order to achieve success in outsourcing MRO, organizations need to manage the complexities inherent to the MRO category – highly fragmented spend, lack of technology investments, and involvement of multiple stakeholders.
The purpose of this research is to educate buyers on the benefits and challenges of MRO outsourcing. This report discusses:
- The process and category scope of MRO
- The benefits of MRO outsourcing
- The emergence of MRO outsourcing as a credible option for MRO optimization
- The various MRO outsourcing approaches and their pros and cons
- The challenges and corresponding best practices to be observed while outsourcing the MRO function illustrated with a case study

PO Annual Report 2011: "2010 - Best Year Ever for PO"
2010 was the best year ever for PO in terms of new contract signings and contracts extensions. The PO market size in terms of active ACV reached US$1.3 billion driven by both organic and inorganic growth. However, 2011 promises to be a stronger year for PO than 2010. Everest expects the PO market to grow at 15-20% YoY to reach US$1.5 billion in ACV, representing managed spend of around US$190 billion. This report provides comprehensive coverage of the global PO market including detailed analysis on market size and growth, buyer adoption trends, PO value proposition, contract characteristics, and service provider landscape.

Value Creation through PO - Perspectives of Mature Buyers
The business case for procurement outsourcing (PO) may look attractive given that it addresses a larger cost base in comparison to other BPO segments. Still, the market for PO services has not seen as much traction compared to other areas such as FAO or HRO. Despite the challenges faced in implementing a PO initiative, especially around savings realization, many buyers have created significant value from such engagements. This report investigates the case of some such buyers. The report also highlights the drivers for adopting PO, supplier selection criteria, and challenges faced as indicated by the buyers. |
