SPARE PARTS PROVISIONING

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.

INTRODUCTION
Spare parts provisioning is the process for planning necessary spare parts under
consideration of a customer's needs and requirements.
Proper planning and control of spare parts is a critical component of effective supportability. If
the right parts are not available when needed for routine maintenance or repairs, downtime is
prolonged. If too many spare parts are available, the enterprise absorbs excessive costs and
the overhead of carrying inventory.
Spare part planning and supply to achieve business objectives are based on four goals:
• the right spare part;
• in the right quantity;
• at the right time;
• at the right place.
Spare parts provisioning is a prerequisite for all types of maintenance tasks, such as
replacements and repairs. Spare parts for corrective maintenance tasks should be supplied at
random intervals for steady state availability. It may take three to four repairs before steady
state availability is reached. In this period repairs may be clustered, and the need can vary
significantly over time. For preventive and on-condition maintenance, fixed intervals or
approximately fixed intervals for replacement items may occur. Coordination of demand for
spare parts with supply of spare parts at the required time is an important factor. Unavailable
materials are one of the most cited reasons for delays in the completion of maintenance
tasks.
The availability of spare parts is one of the factors that impacts system downtime.
Methodologies such as integrated logistic support (ILS) and its subsidiary logistic support
analysis (LSA) provide necessary information for spare parts provisioning. This information
includes system breakdown, maintenance concept, and supply concept. Spare part
optimization will cover issues typically giving answers to questions such as:
• which spare parts should be stored within the maintenance organization or by a supplier?
• how many spare parts of each type should be stocked?
Spare part optimization is based on operations research methods and selected reliability
methods and may be analytical or use Monte Carlo simulations. The optimization process
aims at balancing the cost of holding spare parts against the probability and cost of spare part
shortage.
Before spare parts can be ordered, procedures for procurement, administration and storage of
required material should be specified. Additionally, a general supply concept should be
compiled and specified.
Correct material supply procedures will guarantee that spare parts are ordered in time and
delivered when requested. The procedures also include control of the repair of replacement
parts as well as the monitoring of repair turn-around times. All organizations involved, from
production to purchasing and storage, via maintenance, should have complete transparency
about material availability and possible completion of the task. The planned material costs in
the task should be compared with its consumption. These are then documented and form the
basis of usage-controlled materials planning. With this process, inventory of spare parts can
be optimized to meet availability requirements with minimum inventory levels.
This document is applicable to all industries where supportability has a major impact on the
dependability of the item through its life cycle.
