Explanation: Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO)

Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) includes all processes, services, and materials that are not directly involved in production but are essential for ensuring the ongoing functionality of a company’s operations. This includes equipment maintenance, repair services, spare parts management, and consumables for day-to-day operations. An effective MRO strategy significantly contributes to operational reliability, productivity, and cost efficiency, especially in asset-intensive industries like manufacturing, processing, or energy.
