Multi Echelon Spare Parts Inventory Optimisation: a Simulative Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The research in this paper is motivated by a real life spare parts networks for complex technical systems in oil refining sector. At the customers the availability of the installed technical systems often is essential for the primary process. Hence, they require a high availability. For improve the management of the spare parts inventory the main company (the customer) has developed a new strategies for pushing down to the supply echelon some inventory so as to increase availability of finished parts or components while the properties is still kept by the supplier until its usage, so as sharing in such a way the inventory costs. In this paper after reviewing the literature on spare parts management the industrial case is discussed and based on it a model with closed queuing network approach will be shown. Due to its analytically difficultness the optimality of the parameters will be addressed via simulative way.

In supply chain networks, the flow of material occurs between various business entities such as suppliers, manufactures, distributors and retailers, which can be considered as the various echelons (levels) in a multi-echelon supply chain network. Spare parts supply chain management deals with optimizing stocking, purchasing, repairing and disposing activities of purchased parts and their compon...
متن کاملModeling Multi-Echelon Multi-Supplier Repairable Inventory Systems with Backorders
This paper considers an inventory system responsible for repairable equipments located at several operational sites, each in different area. When a failure occurs at the operational site, spare parts are required. We analyze a multiple-supplier inventory system that includes an internal repair shop that offers several modes of repair with different repair times and an external supplier of spare...

This research work develops a decision support model for a network design problem concerning a spare parts closed loop supply chain. It involves the formulation of an optimization model that takes on a mid to long-term planning perspective and covers decisions that have lasting and binding impact on organizational performance. These decisions include investment, location assignment, and invento...
متن کاملA Constrained Clustering Algorithm for Spare Parts Segmentation
This paper explores the application of constrained clustering algorithms to inventory grouping based problems. Our research in this area is based upon a segmentation methodology that considers operationally relevant part attributes. In this paper, we present a brief review of literature on multi-echelon inventory models, and clustering applications to inventory segmentation. Finally, we discuss...
