MRO Data Governance

Maintain the quality of your material master data over time with structured governance workflows, quality monitoring, and continuous improvement.

Why Data Governance Matters

Without active governance, data quality degrades faster than most organizations realize.

Data Decay

Even after a thorough cleansing project, data quality degrades 15-25% annually without governance controls in place.

Inconsistent New Records

New items entered by different users at different facilities create the same inconsistencies you just paid to fix.

No Single Source of Truth

Without centralized governance, each facility maintains its own standards, making consolidation impossible.

Compliance Risk

Regulatory audits require traceable, standardized data. Ad-hoc maintenance creates compliance gaps.

MaterialMaster Governance Capabilities

New Item Request Workflow

Standardize how new materials enter your catalog. Requesters submit items through a structured form, and data stewards review, enrich, and approve before the item goes live.

Multi-Level Approval Chains

Configure approval workflows that match your organizational structure. Route requests through facility managers, category specialists, and data stewards.

Duplicate Prevention

Automatic duplicate detection at the point of request. The system compares new submissions against existing records using fuzzy matching and manufacturer cross-referencing.

Quality Scoring Engine

Every record receives a quality score based on completeness, accuracy, and compliance with your naming standards. Monitor scores at the item, facility, and enterprise level.

Data Dictionary Management

Maintain a centralized dictionary of approved abbreviations, noun modifiers, and attribute values. The dictionary enforces consistency across all users and facilities.

Change Management & Audit Trail

Every change to every record is tracked with full audit history. Know who changed what, when, and why. Support regulatory audits with complete traceability.

Continuous Quality Monitoring

Automated alerts when quality scores drop below thresholds. Daily and weekly reports highlight trends, outliers, and areas needing attention.
