Future trends in maritime technology include the application of additive spare parts management. Nowadays, 3D printing has become an integral many fields. Maritime industry is one fields where a focus research. To prepare Electro-technical Officers (ETOs) for future, it necessary to investigate parameters which help with deciding whether use or order part. This paper aims research influencing a...

Intermittent demand patterns are very difficult to forecast and they are, most commonly, associated with spare parts’ requirements. Most research in this area focuses on the control of inventories assuming that an appropriate estimator is in place to forecast demand and that the demand is represented by one of the standard statistical distributions. The choice of a demand distribution has an im...

Spare parts are held as inventory to support product maintenance in order reduce downtime and extend the lifetime of products. Recently, spare management has been attracting more attention due “right-to-repair” movement which requires that manufacturers provide sufficient throughout life-cyle their products waste so achieve sustainability. In this review, 148 papers regarding published from 201...

Internal spare parts management is a universal issue faced by all manufacturers, and involves decision-making and planning across a highly complex and heterogeneous group of thousands of items. Spare parts exhibit intermittent demand and a variety of prices, lead times, and potential downtime costs that pose challenges for planning and control. Managers can facilitate spare parts decision-makin...

Croston (1972) [2] presented an idea and method to separate ordinary exponential smoothing in two parts;In the time between demand, or withdrawals, and demand size. The idea with the modification in Levén and Segerstedt (2004) [3] is that time between demand and demand size is not independent. But this modification has shown poor results. Therefore Wallström and Segerstedt (2010) [8] suggest an...

Maintenance operations directly influence the performances of railway vehicles and play a crucial role in railway services to provide uninterrupted and high quality service to passengers. With the exception of preventive activities, the demand of spare parts for maintenance tasks is usually random; hence, the fast and secure management of the spare parts inventory is an important factor for the...
