| KNOw Duplications |
- More precise maintenance management, (repairs and operations
conducted with improved utilisation of spares)
- Fewer Inventory Items (Savings in working capital and
unnecessary purchases)
- Greater Catalogue accuracy (reduction in false stock-outs
and unnecessary purchases)
- More concise catalogue (smaller database to maintain and
update)
|
| Powerful Search Pathways |
- Reduce costs of finding parts (search for spares by
characteristics, values and part numbers)
- Precision in identifying interchangeable parts (allows
determination without visual inspection)
|
| Speed, efficiency and accuracy
in identification |
- Reduction in off-line manual searches (particularly for
intensive users in maintenance, inventory control, stores operations)
- Greater user confidence in parts data (promotes greater use
of system capabilities)
|
| Re-engineering opportunity |
- Cost avoidance (increases spares utilisation through
interchangeability, limits stock-outs and obsolescence)
|
| Pre-requisite for
standardisation |
- Consolidated Stock (identifies Inter Plant commonality and
group stock, promote spares utilisation through Inter Plant transfer)
