The problem in chemical & process manufacturing
Process plants with reliability-driven spare-parts inventory where obsolescence and duplication accumulate silently. Too many decisions live in one veteran's head, and legacy systems record data but never actually decide anything — so nothing scales.
- Reliability buffers become obsolete spares
- Duplicate SKUs across storerooms
- Write-offs surface only at year-end count
How Maintained gets the outcome
- Automate routine replenishment, sourcing, and disposition decisions
- Escalate only exceptions and value calls to a person
