Oniqua and AEP's session will focus on strategies and tactics for optimizing MRO spares and materials to improve material availability, eliminate unnecessary costs, improve visibility to essential data and eliminate time-consuming manual efforts. Discussion topics will include the following:

• Establishing objective spares criticality rankings
• Dynamically segmenting inventory
• Maintaining the right mix of inventory
