Spare Parts Management
Stork AMS understands spare parts management for technical maintenance services to mean all the activities required for effective management of spare parts. These include defining, registering and managing the required spare parts stocks. These activities involve a number of disciplines, which means spare parts management is not simply an activity for stores/logistics alone!
In the execution of maintenance improvement processes, the experience of Stork AMS is that efficient and effective spare parts management is a prerequisite to achieve an effective maintenance service. If a plant or machine suffers a technical fault, it means in most cases that a defective component has to be replaced by a spare part. And this is only possible if the required spare part is available.
Good spare parts management results in a more efficient technical maintenance service, which in turn results in improved technical availability of the production plant.
The aim of spare parts management is therefore to support the maintenance process in such a way that the required parts and materials are made available in the right quantities, at the right quality and at the lowest possible costs, so that the technical maintenance service can carry out its tasks without interruption.
