COURSE OVERVIEW:

Maintenance cannot happen without the right parts, yet excessive inventory is a major drain on corporate cash flow. This course provides a strategic framework for Materials and Spare Parts Planning, focusing on the delicate balance between "Asset Availability" and "Working Capital Optimization." It centers on the transition from "Just-in-Case" stocking to a data-driven "Just-in-Time" and "Risk-Based" inventory strategy.

The scope of this training involves the entire spare parts lifecycle, from initial BOM (Bill of Materials) development to final disposal of obsolete stock. Participants will learn how to conduct a "Criticality Analysis" for spare parts, determine optimal "Min-Max" levels, and utilize the CMMS for automated replenishment. The curriculum emphasizes the collaboration between Maintenance, Procurement, and the Warehouse to ensure that parts are not only available but are also of high quality and properly stored to prevent "Shelf Degradation."

Coverage includes the techniques for "Inventory Segmentation" (XYZ and ABC analysis), the management of "Repairable Spares," and the evaluation of "Vendor Performance." Attendees will explore the financial impact of "Stock-Outs" versus "Over-Stocking" and learn how to present the business case for inventory optimization. By the end of this course, participants will be able to implement a materials management system that reduces "Wrench Time" waste and significantly improves the efficiency of the maintenance supply chain.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the core objectives of "Maintenance-Centric" inventory management.
• Conduct a "Spare Parts Criticality Analysis" to drive stocking decisions.
• Master "Min-Max" and "Reorder Point" (ROP) calculation techniques.
• Utilize the "ABC/XYZ Matrix" for inventory segmentation and focus.
• Build and maintain an accurate "Bill of Materials" (BOM) in the CMMS.
• Manage the lifecycle of "Repairable/Rotable" spare parts.
• Implement "Kitting and Staging" protocols to improve technician productivity.
• Reduce "Working Capital" by identifying and disposing of obsolete stock.
• Establish "Warehouse Standards" for storage and preservation of spares.
• Evaluate "Vendor Lead-Time" and its impact on stocking levels.
• Utilize "Data Analytics" to track inventory turnover and stock-out rates.
• Foster a collaborative "S and OP" (Sales and Operations Planning) for parts.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is vital for Spare Parts Coordinators, Maintenance Planners, Warehouse Managers, Procurement Specialists, and Maintenance Supervisors.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
