One factor in Republic’s choice of AMCS had been its support of bar coding and its ability to track parts inventories. The company had entered parts into AMCS Fleet Maintenance as part of the standardization process.

Results

Republic found it was carrying over $2 million worth of parts, some that were totally obsolete and others that had not been used in over a year. They reduced their parts inventory by about 22 percent.
