Proper planning and control of spare parts inventory is a critical component of an effective asset management program with relation to maintenance and operations. If the right parts are not on hand when needed for routine maintenance or repairs, downtime is prolonging. If too many parts are on hand. The enterprise absorbs excessive costs and the overhead of carrying the inventory.
Jiko energy has tried true strategies to manage spare parts in support of effective asset management, along with some that can be considered questionable, and a variety of new and innovative practices. The following are examples each.
Where used. A view of where a part is used, for example on which site a certain generator fan belt is installed, provides benefits to both the site supervisor and warehouse. This view enables inventory personnel to understand how extensively a part is used throughout the operation, and helps the maintenance planners to determine the item number and quality of parts installed on an asset.
Multi-stores capability. Taking where-used one step further, a multi-stores capability enables an enterprise-wide of spare parts inventory that is stored at more than one
warehouse or off site by a third party. Original spare parts ensure optimum pump performance. They are more than a simple ‘new for old’ replacement and can substantially improve the performance of your equipment.
