Spare parts management is a decision-heavy environment.
What should we stock?
How many should we hold?
Which parts are critical?
How do we reduce excess without increasing risk?
How do we improve control without relying on generic inventory theory?
These are not occasional questions. In asset-intensive businesses, they are asked every day.
And while AI promises faster answers, most AI tools still lean heavily on standard supply chain and inventory thinking.
That is a problem, because spare parts are different.
So, at SparePartsKnowHow, we are making the biggest rethink and restructure of the website in 15 years.
We are moving away from presenting our expertise primarily as a set of “courses” and toward presenting it as a structured spare parts decision support platform.
The content is not being discarded. It is being reorganized around the Spare Parts Decision Framework so users can more easily find the right guidance, tools, templates, and capability pathway for the decision they need to make.
We are also introducing new tools, including ROP, ROQ, Last-Time-Buy, and operational capability assessment tools.
The Open Archive will remain open, with no email or registration required.
Other existing access rights will also be respected. Anyone who has already signed up for one of our current offerings will continue to have access to what they signed up for.
During this transition, new access has been paused while we complete the restructure.
The goal is simple: make SparePartsKnowHow more useful, more practical, and better aligned with how people actually make spare parts inventory decisions.
