Optimizing Spare Parts Inventory in Shipping Industry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper aims at proposing a criterion to optimize the initial level of spare parts inventory for a ship. Adequate stockholding of critical spare parts becomes essential in naval industry characterized by heavy utilization of equipment and machinery and by really specific operating conditions. Generic approaches are inadequate and specific ones result in analysis too shallow. An application for estimating the initial level of spare parts for a tanker is presented. Keywords-Inventory, spare parts, shared items, shipping industry.

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...
