maintenance Spare Parts logistics special characteristics and strategic choices
International Journal of Production Economics, 2001Co-Authors: Janne HuiskonenAbstract:Abstract The diversity of the operational control characteristics of Spare Parts is taken as a basis for supporting the planning and designing of a Spare Parts logistics system. Four control characteristics of maintenance Spare Parts – criticality, specificity, demand pattern, and value of Parts – are discussed in terms of their effects on logistics system elements – network structure, positioning of materials, responsibility of control, and control principles. Distinct operating policies for different types of Parts in the Spare Parts supply chain are illustrated.

Condition based Spare Parts supply
Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2017Co-Authors: Xin Lin, A. A. Kranenburg, R. J.i. Basten, Geert Jan Van HoutumAbstract:We consider a Spare Parts stock point that serves an installed base of machines. Each machine contains the same critical component, whose degradation behavior is described by a Markov process. We consider condition based Spare Parts supply, and show that an optimal, condition based inventory policy is 20% more efficient on average than a standard, state-independent base stock policy. We further propose an efficient and effective heuristic policy.

System-oriented inventory models for Spare Parts
Surveys in Operations Research and Management Science, 2014Co-Authors: R. J.i. Basten, Geert Jan Van HoutumAbstract:Stocks of Spare Parts, located at appropriate locations, can prevent long downtimes of technical systems that are used in the primary processes of their users. Since such downtimes are typically very expensive, generally system-oriented service measures are used in Spare Parts inventory control. Examples of such measures are system availability and the expected number of backorders over all Spare Parts. This is one of the key characteristics that distinguishes such inventory control from other fields of inventory control. In this paper, we survey models for Spare Parts inventory control under system-oriented service constraints. We link those models to two archetypical types of Spare Parts networks: networks of users who maintain their own systems, for instance in the military world, and networks of original equipment manufacturers who service the installed base of products that they have sold. We describe the characteristics of these networks and refer back to them throughout the survey. Our aim is to bring structure into the large body of related literature and to refer to the most important papers. We discuss both the single location and multi-echelon models. We further focus on the use of lateral and emergency shipments, and we refer to other extensions and the coupling of Spare Parts inventory control models to related problems, such as repair shop capacity planning. We conclude with a short discussion of application of these models in practice. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

An overview of recent literature on Spare Parts inventories
International Journal of Production Economics, 2002Co-Authors: W. J. Kennedy, J Wayne Patterson, Lawrence D. FredendallAbstract:Spare Parts inventories are not intermediate or final products to be sold to a customer, and the policies that govern Spare Parts inventories are different from those which govern WIP and other inventories. This paper is an update of the discussion of maintenance inventories and a discussion of the future research needed. After a discussion of unique aspects of Spare Parts inventories, literature is reviewed which relates to management issues, age-based replacement, multi-echelon problems, problems involving obsolescence, repairable Spare Parts, and special applications.
