With spare parts management, half the battle is knowing which question to ask.
The other half is knowing where to find the right answer.
For many years, SparePartsKnowHow.com has presented much of its expertise through training courses and supporting resources.
That structure made sense.
Training is important. Spare parts inventory management is often misunderstood, and many people who become responsible for spare parts have had little or no spare parts-specific education.
But over time, it has become clear that people do not always arrive with a simple training need.
Often, they arrive with a decision to make.
- What should we stock?
- How many should we hold?
- Which parts are critical?
- Why do we have so much obsolete inventory?
- How should we set reorder points?
- What should our policy say?
- How do we improve operational control?
- How do we stop making decisions based on pressure, habit, or guesswork?
These are practical questions.
They are also connected questions.
That is why SparePartsKnowHow.com is being redeveloped around a new structure: a spare parts decision support platform.
