Spare parts control is an important factor in every airlines company. The unavailability of the spare parts may affect the airlines operationally, thus a delay and even a cancellation may happen. A common assumption used to calculate spare part requirements is that the demand is stochastic and the supply is constant. But in real operational circumstance, both of those are stochastic. This research develops the spare parts demand and supply model, and the calculation method of service level and safety stock in the bi-variate distribution from a real data of demand and supply of a rotable component. A fit test is conducted to determine the probability density function of the distribution. An analysis is then carried out after implementing the model in a case study. Historical data of brake assembly used in Boeing 737-800 New Generation is used in the case study. The result of this research are a model to determine demand and supply of aircraft spare part components, a method to calculate service level and safety stock for probabilistic model of demand and supply, and the amount of spare parts required for a brake assembly inventory system

Distribution of hobbing machine spare parts is a key factor to improve the efficiency of service-oriented spare part allocation. In order to minimize the distribution route, the distribution model of hobbing machine spare parts with time limits was put forward. The modified savings algorithm was adopted to solve the model. To improve the loading rate of classic savings algorithm, the modified savings algorithm allowed the split delivery according to customers' requirements. A case study verified that the application of modified savings algorithm ensured the shortest distribution route and improved the vehicle loading rate.

Spare parts inventory management is very important to ensure smooth operation of maintenance department. The main objectives of inventory management of spare parts are to ensure the availability of spares and materials for the maintenance tasks and increase the productivity of the maintenance department. This research centred on the development of the Computerised Inventory Management System (CIMS) for the maintenance team at Weida Integrated Industries Sdn. Bhd. The inventory management technique used to control the spare parts inventory in this research was the basic Economic Order Quantity models (EOQ). However, the CIMS developed is unique as it has the ability in handling inventories in multiple-storage locations. The CIMS was written using the Visual Basic 2010 software. This CIMS has the abilities to keep records and process the spare parts information effectively and faster besides helping the user to perform spare parts ordering tasks compared to the current manual recording. In addition, the ordering quantity and frequency for the CIMS is determined through the EOQ technique. However, observation indicates that the overall average inventory level currently at the factory is lower than the expected overall average inventory level produced by the CIMS. This is due to the fact that the CIMS was unable to consider the opening stock in ordering the inventories. Therefore, further improvements are needed to optimize the performance of the system such as using the EOQ with the reorder point technique, the periodic or continuous review system.

Lumpy demand represents the circumstances when a demand for an item has a large proportion of periods having zero demand. This certain situation makes the time series methods might become inappropriate due to the model’s inability to capture the demand pattern. This research aims to compare several forecasting methods for lumpy demand that is represented by the demand of spare part. Three forecasting methods are chosen; Linear Exponential Smoothing (LES), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Bootstrap. The Mean Absolute Scaled Error (MASE) is used to measure the forecast performance. In order to gain more understanding on the effect of the forecasting method on spare parts inventory management, inventory simulation using oil and gas company’s data is then conducted. Two inventory parameters; average inventory and service level; are used to measure the performance. The result shows that ANN is found to be the best method for spare part forecasting with MASE of 0,761. From the inventory simulation, the appropriate forecasting method on spare parts inventory management is able to reduce average inventory by 11,9% and increase service level by 10,7%. This result justifies that selecting the appropriate forecasting method is one of the ways to achieve spare part inventory management’s goal.

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are appropriate manufacturing technologies to produce low rotation products of high added value. Products in the spare parts business usually have discontinuous demand levels of reduced numbers of parts. Indeed, spare parts inventories handle myriad of products that require big immobilized investments while having an intrinsic risk of no-use (for example due to obsolescence or spoilage). Based on these issues, the present work analyses the fundamental cost factors in a real case study of a company dedicated to the supply of spare parts for fluid conduction systems. Real inventory data is assessed to determine the product taxonomy and its associated costs. A representative product of the stock is analyzed in detail on original manufacturing costs, in AM costs and then redesigned with topological optimization to reduce the AM cost levels (via design for additive manufacturing). A general equation for cost assessment is formulated. Given the specific data collected from the company, the parameters in this general equation are calculated. Finally, the general equation and the product cost reduction achieved are used to explore the potential economic impact of the use of AM technologies in the cost levels of manufacturing and stocking of spare part products.

Reverse engineering represents a method to retrieve information from an existing product, information which are then used for designing a new product or to reproduce it in order to make spare parts. In this paper is presented a case study on making a spare part of complex shape from a worn part. There are presented the stages of acquisition of data by scanning, the use of reverse engineering for the realization of the 3D model, the virtual manufacturing and then the machining of the workpiece CNC machine tools.


The amount of money used to purchase spare parts that are kept in storage may represent a substantial opportunity cost, therefore it could be allocated in process improvements, resulting in better efficiency and bigger profits. Then, this article, besides presenting a literature review about spare parts storage accounting, it shows that the opportunity cost might represent up to 40% of the value of the spare part.
