Course Overview:

Our 1-day Spares Optimization training course provides organizations with the knowledge required to capture opportunities which enables them to optimize and reinvent spares inventory and management systems resulting in significant short and long-term savings for clients.

Organisations should aim to stock the optimum quantity of spares parts to allow uninterrupted production activity whilst avoiding unnecessary or excessive stocks of spare parts. The cost of failing to do so can be high.

The topics in this course are illustrated via practical case studies for the delegates which are analysed and solved in a discussion-based environment.

  • Roles and responsibilities for Spares Analysts, Equipment Subject Matter Experts, MMS Custodian, Operations and Maintenance personnel, Suppliers and Construction contractors.
  • Classification of Spares: Commissioning, Operational, Insurance, Consumable, Repairable etc.
  • Scheduling of Activities
  • Required information.
    • Typical data items
    • Use of SPIL/SPIR format to record association of spares to parent equipment.
    • MMS upload file format
    • Process to identify and obtain missing information
    • Availability of OEM/Supplier maintenance Service
    • System/Equipment criticality

    • MMSs are complex so upload files are more numerous and contain more data fields than non-computing personnel usually expect.

The objective of the course is to familiarise attendees with the significant activities of the spares optimisation process, so that they are competent to ensure that they are all adequately addressed.

The course covers Roles and responsibilities, initial acquisition of information, various analysis techniques, data storing and processing and uploading of stock level data to a target Maintenance Management system (MMS).
