Simplify your spare part supply with OneSource’s inventory management service.


Automation systems help you maximize production levels and increase profitability in the long-term. That means keeping those systems up and running is critical to your plant’s success. And when you have the right inventory on hand, you can get the spare parts you need to ensure your equipment is operating smoothly. Proper inventory management minimizes downtime and mean time to repair (MTTR).





No One Likes Downtime








Whether for scheduled maintenance or an emergency, downtime reduces production and profitability. Having the right critical spare parts when you need them makes all the difference when it comes to reducing downtime.


At OneSource we help you reduce the costs associated with spare parts inventory, inventory controls, and inventory management systems by implementing a Parts Management Agreement (PMA). As an Authorized Service Provider for Rockwell Automation, OneSource can manage your spare parts inventory for all of your Allen-Bradley equipment with a Parts Management Agreement (PMA).




Traditional Owned Inventory vs. Outsourcing Inventory Management



Traditional Model

  • Sunk costs tied up in excess inventory or spares for equipment that’s no longer in production average about 50% of customers’ typical inventory

  • Warranty clock starts when purchased

  • Ongoing carrying costs to support spares, whether you use them or not

  • Spares no longer actively used in the installed base must be written off at a loss

Rockwell Automation PMA Model Through Irby Electric

  • Inventory is owned by Rockwell but kept at your site, giving you 24/7 access

  • Flat cost operating expense

  • Warranty clock starts when equipment is removed from PMA stock

  • Achieve cost containment with exposure limited to the agreement term

  • Backed by Rockwell Automation’s remanufacturing and renewal parts services

  • Inactive PMA stock can be returned

  • Next generation products may be added to the PMA to keep up with technology


Benefits of a Parts Management Agreement (PMA)



Outsourcing your inventory management through a PMA with OneSource reduces your operating costs associated with spare parts inventory. We ensure you have ready access to critical spares for your machines with Allen-Bradley equipment, reducing downtime so you can focus on your core competencies and optimizing production.





Control Assets Through Outsourcing Inventory Management
Avoid unnecessary inventory buildup with an inventory management system that adjusts with your active equipment installed base.
 

Improve Cash Management
Eliminate the large capital expense of purchasing spare inventory, and enable more accurate budgeting with fixed, predictable costs and multi-year agreement terms.
 

Minimize Inventory Expenses
We help you reduce your inventory and carrying costs. Plus, your warranty starts when equipment is removed from PMA stock, not when it’s purchased.

Maximize Production and Uptime
Critical inventory can be maintained on-site at each facility for immediate availability during emergency breakdown situations. Avoid costly delays by decreasing downtime.

End-of-Life Product Support
Reserved Repair offers access to repairs on older equipment. Components are secured in a Rockwell Automation repair center, with testing equipment and documentation maintained.
