What is the xIO?

  • The xIO is an inventory optimization and decision support technology that examines a company’s transactional data and calculates the appropriate Order Point and Order Quantity and Lead Times. xIO’s technology is developed from sound scientific and statistical methodology that constantly analyses data for every line item of a MRO inventory.

Why the xIO:

  • ERP/EAM systems are designed to handle transactions. However, they aren’t built to help determine MRO ordering levels. They do NOT analyze and optimize MRO materials at the line item level.
  • MRO professionals battle their inventory on a regular basis. They try to attack it on a line item basis with very little help from the business system. This is a very time consuming task.
  • The xIO Service allows MRO professionals to make MRO stocking decisions at a higher level. The service looks at a customer’s inventory, and based on each specific situation determines what the OP/OQ should be. The result is considerable time savings, improved capacity and cash flow, and a very short ROI.
  • Through the duration of the customer’s service, they experience no intrusion of consultants – only a team of experts working in parallel to provide support driven by the clients decisions and inventory needs.
