These components are essential for maintaining production uptime and ensuring operational safety.<\/p><p data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1107\">Because oil and gas operations are spread across remote sites, offshore platforms, pipelines, and refineries, managing inventory efficiently becomes a mission-critical task. A single missing spare part can halt production and cause costly downtime, while overstocking ties up millions in working capital.<\/p><p data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1163\">Effective inventory
