Testimonials
Spares Calculator helped these people - it could help you too.
1. We received a proposal from a supplier.
We received a proposal from a supplier and ran the figures through Spares Calculator. The results didn’t stack up. We went back to the supplier and used Spares Calculator to negotiate a significant reduction in spares costs.
2. My client was originally planning to order 6 spare units.
My client was originally planning to order 6 spare units. During our meeting, I used Spares Calculator to show him exactly how risky the proposed level of spares was. I printed out a report and we used this as the basis to agree a 50% increase in spare parts.
3. Initially we made a 5% provision for spare parts.
Initially we made a 5% provision for spare parts. Then the project started to go over budget. The CEO said that we needed to cut our spare parts costs. We had already cut the spares costs to a minimum and we knew that this would cause operational problems when we went into service. We used Spares Calculator to prove that we couldn't reduce the costs any further. Eventually he found the money elsewhere.
4. Spares Calculator has allowed us to implement spare parts risk management procurement procedures.
Spares Calculator has allowed us to implement spare parts risk management procurement procedures. We used to have hundreds of different people involved in the spare parts procurement process. Each had their own way of working. Now we have a standard process with clear business rules. We do not buy any spare parts until a full risk assessment has been completed.
5. We had plenty of Spare Parts but they were deployed in the wrong places.
We had plenty of Spare Parts but they were deployed in the wrong places. This meant that we were always running out of items somewhere in the logistic system, but in other parts we had spares that never moved. Some were even still sitting their in their original wrappers. We used Spares Calculator to workout exactly how many spares to keep at each level in the logistic system and our lives are now much easier.
6. In the winter months we lease our aircraft and engineering facilities to other operators.
In the winter months we lease our aircraft and engineering facilities to other operators. The problem is knowing how many spares to redeploy. With Spares Calculator we can forecast exactly how many spares are needed in seconds. This has saved a great deal of effort.
7. The results from Spares Calculator confirmed that we needed more spare parts.
The results from Spares Calculator confirmed that we needed more spare parts. Using Spares Calculator I was able to optimize our spares inventory, eliminate outages and make sure that I wasn’t over-spending spares and support.
8. Spares Calculator has given us a scientific way to work out how many spare parts we need.
Spares Calculator has given us a scientific way to work out how many spare parts we need. We tested Spares Calculator on a random sample of 20 line items used in our 12 operations spread across Asia. The results were amazingly accurate. We now have an enterprise licence and use Spares Calculator in all of our procurement and operational planning projects.
