RAM Commander’s Spare Parts Analysis module provides an analysis of the required quantity levels of spare parts for all project items.

Two types of optimization are available:

optimization of spare parts for the required Non-Shortage Probability (NSP)
optimization using two criteria - cost function (price, weight, volume) and Availability/Non Shortage probability.

The first type is used for stock computations for normal system support, and the second used to get optimized stock quantities when you face a budget constraint.

Spare parts module uses data from other RAM Commander modules - Product tree, reliability prediction and maintainability data. Both repairable and non-repairable parts from the Product Tree are taken into consideration, spare parts recommendation is given for all organizational levels (levels of replace - O, I, D etc.).

To perform spare parts calculation/optimization user should define a Scenario (containing information about number of systems in the field, prediction period, operation hours/day, operation days/year, required Non-Shortage probability and more). Multiple scenarios may be created and stored in the database.
