LGI’s spare parts logistics: avoiding downtime, ensuring availability
Spare parts logistics is a sub-sector of distribution logistics. It encompasses all the processes that ensure the required spare parts are available at the right place and at the right time – from procurement and storage through to delivery. Its main task is to ensure a reliable supply to customers and production. This is particularly important for reducing production interruptions and downtime of machinery, equipment and vehicles.
Spare parts logistics is characterised by three main tasks:
Procurement: Procurement involves the planning, execution and monitoring of all activities necessary to obtain the required spare parts. This includes the selection of suppliers, the negotiation of prices and delivery terms, and the monitoring of supplier performance.
Warehouse: The spare parts warehouse is responsible for receiving, storing and issuing spare parts. It is important to store the spare parts in such a way that they are quickly and easily accessible.
Distribution:Distribution involves the planning, execution and monitoring of all activities required to deliver spare parts to the desired location. This includes selecting the means of transport (e.g. air and sea freight and road transport), the setting of delivery times, clearance procedures including the preparation of necessary documents, and the monitoring of transport logistics.
Spare parts logistics is a key component of the supply chain, and not just for the automotive industry. Well-organised spare parts logistics can help to increase your company’s productivity and profitability. Find out how LGI can help you optimise your spare parts logistics and achieve your goals.
