Product Tree Data
Spare parts calculation/optimization module uses product tree information during the calculation. Product tree supplies data about replaceable parts, their part numbers, their failure rates, replace level and other information.
You should build the product tree and define the following information for each product tree item before you may use Spare parts module:
1. Part Number (or other identifies like Catalog Number, Generic name etc.)
2. Quantity
3. Operating reliability data - Failure Rate (using prediction, FR/temperature curve in GPRD library or just specifying fixed user-defined or field failure rate).
4. Maintainability data - Level of Repair and Level of Replace.
5. Item minimal and maximal spare parts quantity, condemnation rate and turnaround time, if necessary and if part values differ from general settings in spare parts scenario - see "General" tab of "Item data" screen::
Field name |
Definition |
---|---|
Spare parts Min. |
Minimum number of spare parts to be on hand at all times ("---" means to take value from Scenario) |
Spare parts Max. |
Maximum number of spare parts ("---" means no limitation) |
Condemnation rate % |
Condemnation rate is the proportion of items needing repair that it is uneconomical to repair |
Repair turnaround time (days) |
Time required to send part for repair and get it back (0 - take TAT from Scenario) |
6. Price ("Miscellaneous" tab of the "Item data" screen) if Spares optimization by budget will be used. Enter also Weight and Volume is optimization will be done by these parameters too.
