Too much stock ties up cash; too little leaves machines waiting. Classifying parts by criticality and lead time balances both.
For port operators, factories and fleets, maintenance spares are a major cost. The goal is the right part when needed without locking capital into slow movers.
Classify your parts
- Routine consumables: oil, fuel and air filters, oil, belts – stock according to the service plan.
- Critical, long-lead parts: turbochargers, hydraulic pumps, governors – consider spares for key equipment.
- Rarely failing, easy to buy: order on demand.
Data for every part number
OEM number, equivalents, equipment used on, minimum quantity, lead time and supplier. Nameplate photos and serial numbers make look-ups more accurate.
Review and adjust
Track actual usage every quarter, adjust minimum levels and remove numbers no longer used by any machine.
Work with your supplier
Share your equipment list and service plan so the supplier can source ahead. TTT accepts part lists in Excel or as photos, quotes as a package and suggests equivalents when genuine stock runs out. See our product catalogue.
