On spare parts optimization

چکیده
In the book “Optimal inventory modeling of systems: multi-echelon techniques” the author Craig Sherbrooke, who has developed several important model in this area, describes a part of the model cosidered in this manuscript as follows (in “aircraft language”): “When a malfunction is diagnosed on an aircraft, the malfuncioning item is removed from the aircraft and brought into base supply. If a spare is available, it is issued and installed on the aircraft; otherwise a backorder is established . . . which implies that there is a “hole” in an aircraft that causes it to be grounded . . .”.

Closed-loop Supply Chain Inventory-location Problem with Spare Parts in a Multi-Modal Repair Condition
In this paper, a closed-loop location-inventory problem for spare parts is presented. The proposed supply chain network includes two echelons, namely (1) distribution centers (DCs) and repairing centers (RCs) and (2) operational bases. Multiple spare parts are distributed among operational bases from distribution centers in the forward supply chain and failed spare parts from operational bases ...
متن کاملOptimizing Spare Parts Inventory for Time-Varying Task
As the requirement of task is dynamical, the usage of equipment will change with time and it will result in the fluctuating demand for spare parts all over the time. In order to improve equipment performance, the users need to forecast equipment failure frequency and demand for spare parts within the task period. Demand in a moment of task period is the result of cumulative effect of the failur...
متن کاملOptimization models for critical spare parts inventories - a reliability approach
In industries characterized by heavy utilization of equipment and machinery, such as mining, oil & gas, utilities, transportation, adequate stockholding of critical spare parts becomes essential. Insufficient stocks affect overall performance of physical assets, as lack of spares may result in gross penalties, lower availability or increased operational risks. On the other hand, oversized inven...
متن کاملImproving spare parts inventory control at a repair shop ¬リニ
We study spare parts inventory control for an aircraft component repair shop. Inspection of a defective component reveals which spare parts are needed to repair it, and in what quantity. Spare part shortages delay repairs, while aircraft operators demand short component repair times. Current spare parts inventory optimization methods cannot guarantee the performance on the component level, whic...
متن کاملIntegral optimization of spare parts inventories in systems with redundancies
In this paper, we analyze spare parts supply for a system with a “k-outof-N” redundancy structure for key components, different standby policies (cold, warm and hot standby redundancy) and local spare parts inventories for sub-components. We assume multiple part types (sub-components) that fail randomly with exponentially distributed interfailure times. Due to the standby policies and the limit...
متن کاملA Decision Support Model for Spare Parts Inventory in a Multi-Echelon Closed Loop Supply Chain
This research work develops a decision support model for a network design problem concerning a spare parts closed loop supply chain. It involves the formulation of an optimization model that takes on a mid to long-term planning perspective and covers decisions that have lasting and binding impact on organizational performance. These decisions include investment, location assignment, and invento...
