Spare Parts Optimization Using A Planned Maintenance System

A certain amount of spare parts is required for any maintenance operation. The organization and the implementation of proper maintenance requires appropriate amount of spare parts. Safety and reliability of the ship depends upon proper maintenance, requiring appropriate amount of spare parts as well. The ship is a vehicle that is in constant motion with a limited amount of useful space in general, this fact is also applied to spare parts storage. Spare parts in stock represent not only "dead capital”, but also a significant annual cost. Therefore, more attention should be given to optimization of spare parts. Determination of the optimal amount of spare parts can be presented as a compromise that should meet the requirements for proper and timely maintenance, as well as decrease of the costs for spare parts. The Planned Maintenance System is used for planning, documentation and implementation of surveys and maintenance, as well as for monitoring of spare parts stock and consumption. Systematically and continuously collected data from a computerized Planned Maintenance System can be used for the optimization of spare parts. This paper shows how to implement the optimization of spare parts on board using analysis of the data obtained from the ship's computerized Planned Maintenance System.
