SMRP Metric 1 4 Stocked MRO Inventory Value As A Percent of Replacement Value RAV PDF
SMRP Metric 1 4 Stocked MRO Inventory Value As A Percent of Replacement Value RAV PDF
A. DEFINITION
The metric is the value of maintenance, repair and operating materials (MRO) and
spare parts stocked on site to support maintenance, divided by the Replacement Asset
Value (RAV) of the assets being maintained at the plant, expressed as a percentage.
B. OBJECTIVES
This metric enables comparisons of the value of stocked maintenance inventory on site
with other plants of varying size and value, as well as to benchmarks. The RAV is used
in the denominator to normalize the measurement given that different plants vary in
size and value.
C. FORMULA
Stocked MRO Inventory Value per RAV (%) =
[Stocked MRO Value ($) × 100] ÷ Replacement Asset Value ($)
D. COMPONENT DEFINITIONS
Stocked MRO Inventory Value
Current book value of maintenance, repair and operating materials held in stock at the
plant site, including consignment and vendor managed inventory. Include the value of
MRO materials in all storage locations, including remote stores locations whether or not
the material is included in inventory asset accounts or an allocated portion of pooled
spares. (Try to estimate the value of “unofficial” stores in the plant even if they are not
under the control of the storeroom and even if they are not “on the books”). Include the
When aggregated as the cost of all stocked items, inventory value is calculated as:
N
∑ (Quantity on Hand × Individual Item Cost) i
MRO
Maintenance, repair, and operating materials and spare parts
Also referred to as Estimated Replacement Value (ERV). This is the dollar value that
would be required to replace the production capability of the present assets in the plant.
Include production/process equipment, as well as utilities, facilities and related assets.
Do not use the insured value or depreciated value of the assets. Include replacement
value of buildings and grounds if these assets are maintained by the maintenance
expenditures. Do not include the value of real estate, only improvements.
E. QUALIFICATIONS
1. Time basis: Annually and/or quarterly.
F. SAMPLE CALCULATION
If Stocked MRO Inventory Value is $3,000,000, and the Replacement Asset Value
(RAV) is $100,000,000, then the Stocked MRO Inventory Value as a Percent of RAV
would be:
• Stocked MRO Inventory Value per RAV (%) =
[Stocked MRO Value ($) × 100] ÷ Replacement Asset Value ($)
• Stocked MRO Inventory Value per RAV (%) =
($3,000,000 × 100) ÷ $100,000,000
• Stocked MRO Inventory Value per RAV (%) = 3%
Regarding the variation by industry, an abundance of data suggests that lighter, less
complex industries (non-industrial facilities, for example) tend to require less stocked
inventory than heavier industries (mining, for example), although the differences are
quite small in the top quartile. The range shown above describes the lowest industry’s
“top-of-the-top quartile” target (0.3%) and the highest industry’s “bottom-of-the-top
quartile” target (1.5%). Targeting 1.5% may or may not be appropriate for your facility.
It is advised that you consult with experts to establish the appropriate target for your
industry and your facility.
I. HARMONIZATION
This metric and its supporting definitions are similar to the indicator E7 in standard
EN15341.
Note 2: SMRP metrics include operating materials. The EN 15341 definition only
includes maintenance materials. This can give a higher value compared to the
EN15341 indicator.
