Integrated Parts Management and MRO Change Management

At SDI, we understand that change is an essential part of improving your operations, whether it’s in Facilities Management (FM) or Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) supply chain management. We specialize in guiding organizations through these transitions with a blend of Project Management and Change Management to drive positive outcomes.

FM Transition & Change Management

Our approach to FM Transition & Change Management involves a dual focus: Project Management and Change Management. These two aspects work in harmony to help your organization not only accomplish the necessary tasks but also ensure that the people involved adjust to and embrace the improved processes, systems, roles, and organizational structures.

Implementation Project Management

Our team of Certified Project Management Professionals utilizes a proven methodology, incorporating Lean/Six Sigma principles. Cross-functional implementation teams, led by dedicated project leaders, ensure on-time and on-budget transitions. We work collaboratively with your team to customize implementation timelines based on the scope of work, ensuring successful execution through standardized operating procedures.

Change Management

Realizing effective change requires a deep understanding of your current state, a clear vision of the desired impact, and a concrete plan to make that vision a reality. SDI employs a combination of processes, tools, and techniques to manage the people-side of change. This includes creating readiness for change, establishing a shared vision, developing crucial relationships and political support, and maintaining momentum throughout the transition.
