中文What is MRO outsourcing?
A service in which a specialist company handles the purchasing of the consumable supplies a business needs to operate.
MRO
MRO means consumable supplies
MRO stands for Maintenance, Repair and Operations — the consumable supplies that are not raw materials for the product you make, yet are indispensable to running the business. The range is wide: packaging and logistics materials, tools and machine parts, electrical, electronic and measuring equipment, facility, piping and chemicals, and office, IT and daily goods.

Problem
Why does buying it yourself get hard?
Many items, small unit prices
Consumable supplies come in large numbers at small amounts per order, so the cost of finding a supplier and comparing quotations for every item easily exceeds what you are buying.
Purchasing is scattered
When each department and site buys separately, prices and quality standards drift apart and spending is hard to see at a glance.
Urgent needs are hard to meet
Consumables on the plant floor run out at times that are hard to predict, and late supply hits the line directly.
Solution
How outsourcing solves it
One purchasing channel
Purchasing across many items and many sources comes together in one channel, cutting ordering and settlement work.
