3.12 Spares Optimisation
Objectives
  • Define Spares Optimisation
  • Identify when to use Spares Optimisation
  • Describe Level of Repair Analysis and Spares Optimisation outputs
  • Ability to explain how Systems based Spares Optimisation enhances the Support System as distinct from Single Item Optimisation
Examine
Spares Optimisation models the following characteristics of a mission system:
  • Items installed within the equipment
  • Reliability and Maintainability factors
  • Shipping times
  • Administrative Logistics Down Time (ALDT)
  • Task classification (repair or discard)
Examining the ‘Spares Pipeline’ to determine the number of Repairable Items (RI) required to meet supply (satisfy demand) while allowing RI to be rotated through their repair venue, which includes:
  • Repair times
  • Transportation times
  • Administrative Logistics Down Time (ALDT)
What is  Spares Optimisation used for:
  • To identify the optimum spares fit to suit project needs
  • Calculate the spares requirements to support and operate the ‘spares pipeline’
