Technical paper: How strategic key account management increases plant availability

Tighter delivery times, more complex production facilities and volatile markets are presenting industrial companies with ever-greater challenges. At the same time, even brief unplanned plant downtime can have significant economic consequences. This makes it all the more important to have a strategy that identifies production risks at an early stage and ensures the long-term availability of critical components.

In a new technical paper, Rubix demonstrates how modern Key Account Management goes far beyond traditional spare parts procurement and actively supports production. At its heart is a holistic approach that brings together manufacturing, maintenance and procurement, helping companies to make their production processes more stable, efficient and cost-effective over the long term.

This paper explains how critical spare parts and wear components can be systematically identified, the role that intelligent spare parts strategies play in ensuring production reliability, and how technical consultancy helps to mitigate supply bottlenecks or component discontinuations at an early stage. It also demonstrates how transparent material data and structured analyses can improve planning and reduce risks.

Another key focus is on Rubix’s multi-site and multi-country approach. The paper describes how internationally active companies can harmonise their material supply across sites, standardise procurement processes and thereby reduce both the organisational burden and the risk of unplanned production stoppages.

The paper is aimed in particular at production managers, maintenance managers, technical procurement specialists and plant managers who wish to increase plant availability, minimise production downtime and future-proof their MRO strategies.
