Spare parts stock: productive advantages
Having replacement parts immediately available when an original part becomes defective or wears out can prevent unscheduled downtime on the production line.
Keeping an in-house supply will also eliminate the possibility of unavailable parts and ensure effective productivity and reduced downtime.
High freight costs that have been requested urgently can also be avoided or reduced when compared to standard shipping.
Periodic check-ups will also allow the identification of parts that must be replaced and components that can still be salvaged during their useful life.
This strategic stock gains even more importance when we consider that the effectiveness in the delivery of its products is totally linked to the positive index of customer satisfaction.
Delays in order shipments are problems caused by unwanted stops of machines and equipment on the production line.
By avoiding these failures, you minimize downtime, ensure the most punctual deliveries and maintain good relationships with your customers, in addition to meeting the goals and financial results in the period.
Recommendations that the company should carry out to achieve inventory management goals.
We have prepared some questions that can help you, as a manager, to start your action plan to have a stock of spare parts:
- What is the root cause of spare parts inventory problems?
- What is the sequence of tasks that must be followed to obtain the desired results?
- What does the spare parts purchase data for the last 12 months say?
- What is the minimum inventory needed for each item, based on the average purchase analyzed?
- Which identified problems deserve to be prioritized?
Interviews with key team members and benchmarking are also great options for actions that will allow you to better understand the entire process for an overall analysis, which will allow the identification of factors that drive the root causes.
