Spare Parts Management
The Spare Parts Management module provides
support for efficient and cost-effective plant
maintenance.
Your Benefits
■ Optimized carrying costs
and less tied-up capital
■ Shorter outage periods
■ Assured quality and
availability of parts
■ Increased productivity
due to minimized search,
transfer and waiting times
The Task
A familiar problem: On the one hand, excessive
quantities of some stock items are kept for fear
of deficiencies, yet, on the other hand, it is frequently the very stock items and spare parts
required for smooth plant operation that are
not available. Additionally, in many cases stock
items are inadequately identified, documentation is missing or information on stock movements and stock quantities is incomplete. The
consequence: shortages and downtime costs.
What is required is a system to optimize stockkeeping – if possible by seamlessly integrating
spare parts management into technical plant
management.
The core functions, i. e. requirements planning,
stock management, stock-keeping and procurement are treated as an end-to-end process,
ensuring quality and availability of the parts
in accordance with the selected maintenance
strategy. This results in reduced outage periods
and short provision times.
The Plant Management Spare Parts Management ensures the fastest possible flow of
materials and just-in-time provision of the
required parts. It is available as state-of-theart Web-Application and also in a traditional
Client/Server configuration.
Providing the necessary spare parts in the required quality
at the right time while keeping the stock value as low as
possible: The Spare Parts Management module offers
comprehensive support.
Our Solution
The Spare Parts Management module is integrated with technical plant management and
ensures optimum supply with the required
spare parts, allowing more efficient use of
assets and reducing tied-up capital.
The Spare Parts Management module takes
a new direction: away from the mere supply
and buffer function of the stock to dynamic
provision of materials.
Answers for energy.
Functional overview
Materials master data
The master data of the stock items are
managed in the stock item master. The
stock item describes the material from
the materials management view just as
the product type describes it from a technical view. The stock item is independent
of the product type, but can be assigned
to such a product type. The stock item
can also be classified and assigned quality
assurance characteristics with the help
of ready-to-use checklists. The general
application, class-specific component
parameters and safety advice regarding
the stock item’s classification as hazardous
material can also be entered in the stock
item master.
Inventories for stock items are managed
separately for each site. It is possible
for several stores to be implemented
for one site.
To make grouping inventories easier,
all stock can consistently be kept in lots.
You can also enter freely defined criteria,
such as batch, expiry date and price. Lots
can be divided up into several storage
bins.
Requirements planning
Requirements planning allows planning
the material requirements and the
services required for carrying out the
maintenance work.
A materials requisition can consist of
several requisition items. To allow entry
of the data for these items easily and
conveniently, the system offers type
parts lists and material catalogs. The
individual items can also be copied for
similar requisitions. Upon reservation,
the availability of the required parts
is checked and the required quantity
reserved. Thus, the necessary material
is sure to be ready for pick-up when it
is needed.

Requirements planning with the Spare Parts Management module
Once an item’s stock runs below the minimum stock level defined for that item,
the system will automatically generate
a reorder proposal. Only after you have
checked and approved this proposal does
it become a purchase order requisition,
which is then forwarded to the ordering
department.
Stock keeping
The stock-keeping program organizes the
stores and material flows transparently
and consistently. Stock placement of
goods received, materials issue from the
store or goods receiving can be effected
individually or collectively. Reservations,
requisition quantities, quantities of goods
received and stock quantities are reconciled for all processes. Even taking immediately required items (unplanned requirements) from the stores or from goods
received is possible. The resulting
unplanned costs are assigned to the
respective work.

If unused materials are returned to the
store, the stock level and materials usage
are corrected. The system also offers functions for the administration of the stock
with relocation, additional storage and
stock level corrections. All movements in
the stores or goods receipt are registered
in the movement log – well structured,
compact, ready for evaluation whenever
required.
Procurement
The data for the requisition items (e. g.
quality requirements) can be edited both
in the purchase order requisition and the
purchase order itself. Consistency of the
information is ensured at all times.
Whenever goods are received, those
involved, including Maintenance are
informed to make keeping track easier.
The bidirectional exchange of data with
already deployed procurement systems,
such as SAP R/3 is possible.
