Spare Parts Provisioning With FLEETS

Suppliers to the automotive industry often have to make supply commitments to car manufacturers for spare parts of up to 30 years. The production cycle of a device or part is usually only 10 years. This means they themselves have to make forecasts of the total quantity required on the basis of uncertain time series. This is made more difficult by an increasing number of variants and discontinued products. Within the framework of the forecasts, expensive under-coverage must be weighed against balance sheet-critical excess inventories.

Our Solution

• Manual forecasts for costly spare parts inventory using Excel-implemented solutions and flat-rate calculation models often lead to overstocking
• This causes permanently excessive capital commitment and/or immense liquidation costs
• A regular stock evaluation as well as the early identification of bottlenecks and overstocks fails due to the extensive product range
• With the introduction of FLEETS, forecasts can be created quickly and in high quality in combination with detailed reports
• FLEETS forecasts are generally accepted by OEMs as an established standard for high-quality estimates
