Optimise Your Spare Parts

spare parts are a major concern

For most companies a major cost element within their maintenance budget is the cost of holding spare parts stock and the ongoing use of spare parts. The annual survey of manufacturing and facilities management companies participating in the AMIS audit programme indicates that spare parts are still a major concern.

For a typical manufacturing business with a maintenance budget in the region of £5m, the likely stock holding value will be £3-4m, with a stock holding value of £3.8m. An annual usage of parts of £1.4m in stock turn, the amount value used every year is equivalent to 2.7 years of stock. In the best practice companies, this value will be closer to just 1 year or even less.

the question…

So, the question is, “What can you do to ensure that you have the right parts available and that your investment in parts is optimum?”
