Spare Part Management Function
In most of the industries, the inventory of maintenance and repair such as oils, lubricants, grease, machine spares (bearings, bushes, belts, chains, electrical equipment, etc.) are taken care by the PED and a separate store will be maintained in coordination with the PPC, MPC and Purchase department.
The management of spares has many dimensions such as their availability in the market, the type of market (such as government market, open market, foreign market, etc.) in which they are available, time or season of availability, size, standards, quality aspect, traceability, replaceability, compatibility, etc.
