Case Study
How a national telecommunications operator used Spares Calculator to implement a new risk management procurement procedure which provided dramatic reductions in risk and cost.
"We are going to improve our spare parts and support procurement policy. We will create new procurement practices with clearly defined business rules. In future - high value spare parts and firm fixed price repair contracts will not be procured until a proper risk assessment has been completed."
Can you safely reduce your investment in spare parts?
A national telecommunications operator recently asked this very question. The answer was simple - Yes! By implementing new risk-management procurement procedures across the entire organization.
The procurement and operations teams were then equipped with Spares Calculator and they now use it to carry out risk-assessments on all high-value spare parts.
The company now uses Spares Calculator to:
- Evaluate bids
- Reduce spare parts costs
- Reduce fixed price support costs
- Justify capital investments to their board of directors
And the results? With minimal training, users have been able to significantly reduce procurement costs and achieve a high level of system availability. Spares Calculator has provided the data needed to challenge supplier support figures and identify optimum levels of stock.
In the words of their commercial director:
"We estimate that our new procurement procedures will save us many millions over the next financial year."
