The Reliability Team carried out Spares optimisation analysis for 21 CN DCN (
It was a complex project to optimise the number of spares in order to minimise the cost of stock holding;
The team used a Spares Optimisation Package (SOP) for calculating FRU ( Field Replaceable Units) spares requirements based on –
Population of working units
FRU Reliability information in terms of MTBF
Turnaround Time
Stock Out Risk
This work resulted in significant cost savings by reducing the quantity of spares to the minimum level.
