OptimalSPARES™Spares and materials

Use cases → Materials and reliability engineer

For the materials engineer.

You are asked to cut inventory without risking a stockout. OptimalSPARES™ lets you do both, by stocking to criticality on clean, harmonised data.

The problem

Overstocked and out of stock at the same time.

Duplicate parts and messy data hide the real holding, so capital sits on a slow-moving tail while the odd critical, long-lead part is still missing when it is needed.

Clean the data

AI-assisted classification and fuzzy de-duplication turn a messy catalogue into one trusted record per part.

Rank the criticality

Consequence of a stockout, lead time and demand set a service-level target per part.

Size and pool

EOQ, reorder point and safety stock size the stock, and pooling shares it across sites.

The outcome

What good reliability engineering returns.

"Half the store had not moved in three years, and two critical parts were not stocked at all. Fixing both cut value and cut stockouts."
