Spares Scaling & Ranging

The Spares Scaling and Ranging (SpareCost) module of ITEM ToolKit calculates spares required for equipment supported at sites and bases; enabling you to optimize the scale of spares at sites for minimum cost. It works to algorithms derived for the Ministry of Defence: Optcost and Repstock.

Sites
The SpareCost module generates spares holdings required at sites (first and second line repair by replacement), against a stock-out risk at the site. This scale of spares is optimized against cost of the spares held.

Base
Base spares are required to meet replenishment demands from sites and to replace returned spares which are beyond economic repair. SpareCost calculates the most cost effective base spares holding.

Reports
The Spares Scaling module has an extensive reports facility that includes full information of spares holding by replacement item at both site and base, as well as the expected number of failures for each component over a defined period.
