Conventional Systems of
Ordering Spare Parts and Materials
Inventory control theories attempt to determine those
procedures, which will minimize the costs of:

i.

Running out of stock (Production loss due to stoppage,


cost of temporary hire etc.)

ii. Replenishing stock (per item, and inverse function of

order quantity)
iii. Holding

stock

(interest

on

capital,

insurance,

depreciation over a wide range of stock levels, wages,


light, heat, storage facilities, rent etc.)

Economic Order Quantity


It is one of the simplest techniques, being followed for a

number of years in the industry


Economic order quantity is the optimum quantity is the
optimum quantity of material that can be ordered each time

so that the total cost of ordering and holding them remains a


minimum
Mathematically, the expression for the optimum order

quantity can be derived as follows


ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,
07/09/14, Lecture-8

BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Underlying Assumptions
The demand for the item is known

The lead time is known and fixed


The receipt of the order occurs in a single instant
Quantity discounts are not calculated as part of the model
Stockouts or shortage do not occur

ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,


07/09/14, Lecture-8

BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

The following are the variables


Q = optimal order quantity
C= cost per order event (not per unit)
R = monthly demand of the product
P = purchase cost per unit

F = holding cost factor, the factor of the purchase cost that is used
as the holding cost (this is usually set at 10-15%, though
circumstances can require any setting from 0 to 1)

H = holding cost per unit per month (H = PF)

EOQ formula
The single item EOQ formula can be seen as the minimum
point of the following cost function:
Total cost = purchase cost + order cost + holding cost, which
corresponds to:

Two-Bin System of Material


Procurement
The two-bin system is quite advantageous for ordering
everything from certain product inventory items (those that
have a relatively stable usage, now and in the foreseeable
future) to consumable supplies, including office products.
The two-bin system is exactly a system that requires two
storage containers.
Each container will hold a predetermined quantity of the
same material. The quantities may be the same, or one bin
may hold a larger quantity than the other.
ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,
07/09/14, Lecture-8

15
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Simply, the two-bin system


follows:

works as

Two bins of items are created.

The first bin is stacked on top of, or in front of, the second
bin.
A recorder card is placed on the bottom of each bin.
Material is drawn from the first (or most accessible) bin only.

ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,


07/09/14, Lecture-8

16
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Two-Bin System

When the first bin is empty, it is exchanged with the second

bin.
The recorder card is used to replace items in the first bin.
Material is then drawn from the second bin while waiting for
receipt of the material on order.

ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,


07/09/14, Lecture-8

17
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Two-Bin System
When the new material arrives, it is placed in the empty bin, and
the reorder card is returned to its proper place in the bin.
The procedure is continued, with material being selected from one
bin until it is depleted. The material is then replenished through
use of the reordering card.
As long as the quantity of the material in each bin is the same, one
bin can be first depleted and the order placed for the

replenishment amount; then material can be depleted from the


second bin, and so forth.

New Approaches in Effective


Asset / Spare Parts Management
Proper planning and control of spare parts inventory is a

critical component of an effective asset management


programme.
If the right parts are not on hand when needed for routine
maintenance or repairs, downtime is prolonged. If too many
parts are on hand, the enterprise absorbs excessive costs and
the overhead of carrying the inventory.

ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,


07/09/14, Lecture-8

19
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Item Search
It can be difficult experience for a maintenance planner who is not
familiar with the item numbers to locate the appropriate part in a
computer system.
Nouns and qualifiers are a way of simplifying a search.
A noun is a simple, meaningful name for the item, for example
pump. The qualifier adds more detail, such as hydraulic.
A search on this combination will bring up all hydraulic pumps in
the stock item master file.

ABC and XYZ Analyses


Generally accepted 80:20 rule illustrates that approximately

80 percent of any storerooms volume is associated with only


20 percent of the items in inventory.
It is important to pay extra attention to that critical 20
percent.

ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,


07/09/14, Lecture-8

22
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

ABC and XYZ Analyses

ABC and XYZ codes are commonly used to identify


those parts. The codes are assigned based on value or
quantity of stock movement, and each code will have an
associated upper limit.
Highest value parts, for example those that cost more
than Rs. 2.5 lakh each, can be assigned the ABC code of
A, and fastest moving parts can be assigned an XYZ
code of X.

Automatic Replenishment
Suggested reorder functionality creates requisitions based on
reorder points (ROP) and reorder quantities (ROQ) that are stored in
the inventory record.
Once inventory levels for a part fall below the reorder point

threshold, a suggested reorder is placed for the reorder quantity,


which in turn creates a requisition.
This saves time and prevents the delays and errors that can occur
with manual purchasing processes.
ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,
07/09/14, Lecture-8

26
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Vendor Service Levels


Capturing supplier service level data within the inventory record
helps bring to light the most efficient, dependable, and costeffective vendors.
Preferred suppliers can be identified based on historical lead
times, pricing, quality, number of short or over-shipments, how
often goods are received damaged, frequency of back orders, and
other criteria.
Preference can be given to these vendors in the procurement
process.
ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,

BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Multistores Capability
A multi stores capability enables an enterprise-wide view of
spare parts inventory that is stored at more than one
warehouse or off site by a third party
In a multi-plant environment or when maintenance
departments are distributed, visibility into inventory at the
various storerooms permits monitoring of parts availability
and service-level agreements across the enterprise as a
whole or on an individual basis

ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,


07/09/14, Lecture-8

28
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Just-in-time (JIT)
JIT replenishment is a popular but sometimes controversial

concept of storing minimal inventory in the warehouse and


replenishing it only when and as needed just in time.
Although enabling significant carrying cost-savings, there are
risks involved.

ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,


07/09/14, Lecture-8

29
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Just-in-time (JIT)
The best replenishment formulas cannot predict an emergency
breakdown, a vendor going out of business, a carrier going on
strike, or a sudden shortage of raw materials.
Being too conservative in stocking levels can result in the inability
to repair equipment in a timely manner or to keep the production
line running.
In asset management, the criticality of a part determines whether
it is a candidate for JIT.

A criticality code in the EAM inventory record can be used to


identify these items.
ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,
07/09/14, Lecture-8

30
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Lean Manufacturing
This is a similar concept with a broader scope. Lean

manufacturing means doing more with less, cutting time to


market, and eliminating unnecessary processes.
This impacts maintenance and the storeroom by stressing
improved, efficiencies, better planning, and reduced costs
and running an operation with far less inventory.

ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,


07/09/14, Lecture-8

31
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

New Approaches
Purchasing through the Internet is an effective means of

acquiring indirect items and hard-to- find, inexpensive, or


short-notice spare and replacement parts.
Almost all OEMS, brokers, distributors, manufacturers, and
machine shops have web ordering capabilities.
Most companies can purchase materials online.

MOBILE COMPUTING AND


USE OF BAR CODE TECHNOLOGY
This is being more popular in the advanced countries and is
gaining ground in India as well.
Warehouse personnel can conduct cycle counts without halting
operations by automating Parts identification with bar codes.

Wireless technology can capture inventory through bar codes


and transmit the data in real time to the corporate network.
Critical material availability is easier to track, resulting in timelier

asset management.
ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,
07/09/14, Lecture-8

33
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Barcode Solution
Like a library system, the programme tracks the item, where it is,
how often it is used, and when it is due back.
Reporting capabilities offer information on inventory value, asset
locations, and equipment usage.
In addition, the radio frequency scanners (the industry uses with
the system) mean that the operator is not chained to the
computer.
One can communicate with the PC in real time from anywhere in
the tool room.
ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,
07/09/14, Lecture-8

34
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Barcode Solution
Scanned data is sent to the database instantly, and information
about the status of both the equipment and the employees can
be accessed from the hand-held.
If, for example, the employee at the counter has an overdue

spare part or is not certified to use the item he is trying to sign


out, the PC will send that information to the scanner instantly
where it will be displayed on the screen.

ENGG ZC242, Maintenance & Safety,


07/09/14, Lecture-8

35
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

Improved Communication
The most significant aspect is that the plant has a consistent
method of tracking spare parts as well as consumables in its
entire site.
This will result in a change in purchasing habits. Orders are
no longer going out just because one spare part runs out of
an item.
Instead, operators can use the networked system to check for
the item's availability in other parts of the plant.
In addition, by forcing operators to catalog their spare parts,
the system will help to create an accurate count of its own
assets.

Definition
A gas, liquid, or solid used to prevent contact of parts in
relative motion, and thereby reduce friction and wear.
In many machines, cooling by the lubricant is equally
important.

Various types of lubricants


Liquid Including Emulsions and Suspensions:
One of the most common ways is the type of base oil
used. Typically, lubricants contain 90% base oil (mostly
mineral oils) and less than 10% additives.

Vegetable oils or synthetic liquids such as hydrogenated


polyolefins, esters, silicone, fluorocarbons and many
others are sometimes used as base oils.

Liquid Including Emulsions and


Suspensions
Additives deliver properties such as reduced friction and
wear, increased viscosity or less change of viscosity due to
change in temperature, resistance to corrosion and
oxidation, aging or contamination, etc.

Most common types of liquid lubricants:


Water: Water can be used on its own or as a major
component in combination with one of the other base oils.
In many of the cooling applications of fabric bearings used in
low speed, large diameter shafts water is being used.

Vegetable (natural oil): These are primarily triglyceride
esters derived from plants and animals.
For lubricant base oil use of vegetable-derived materials
are preferred.
Some of the vegetable oils are palm oil, sunflower seed
oil and rapeseed oil from vegetables and tallow oil from
animal sources.
Many vegetable oils are often hydrolyzed to yield the
acids, which are subsequently combined selectively to
form specialist synthetic esters, generally used in
sewing machines, locks, type writers, etc.

Synthetic oils: These are the present trend in lubrication
although they are much more costlier than the mineral
oils. The basic characteristics is that they have high
viscosity indices (VI).
This is a dimensionless number.
Higher the number indicates lesser the change in
viscosity with temperature. Petroleum-based mineral
oils have less than 100 VI, whereas synthetic
hydrocarbons have 125 to 250 VI and silicones have VI
of 200 to 650 range.

Definitions in Lubrication
Apparent Viscosity
The viscosity of lubricant measured at a given shear rate
for cases where viscosity is dependent on shear rate.
Asperities
Microscopic projections from a surface particularly on a
sliding or a bearing surface which result from machining
operation or finishing treatment. They are the primary
causes of friction if there is insufficient film of lubrication
between sliding surfaces.

them and reducing engine deposits and at the same time
sludge deposition is reduced. Ashless dispersant is a polymerbased material, which are particularly useful in holding water
in suspension in gasoline engine oils, as well as suspending
solid particles.

Definitions in Lubrication
Extreme Pressure
Whenever surfaces are sliding against each other under
heavy loads like hypoid gears, the lubricants needs to
have properties to withstand such pressures.
Therefore, additives are added to the base stocks,
thereby, lubricants can react with asperities of the metal
surface and forms compounds, which can readily shear
without having to disturb the base metals.

Kinematic Viscosity
This is a measure, which shows the liquid's resistance to
flow under the force of gravity. This is nothing but
(absolute viscosity)/(density).

Mass Spectrometer
This is an instrument wherein the spectrum is formed by
passing ionized fragments of petroleum products in a
magnetic field. From the spectrum the constituents of
hydrocarbons are evaluated either by photographically or
by electronically.

Definitions in Lubrication
SAE Viscosity
It is a classification of viscosity of lubricants by Society for
Automotive Engineers (SAE). Winter grade oils have suffix
"W" such as SAE 10W, where as summer grade oils do
not have any suffix. They represent viscosity of oil at
100C. They are merely represented as SAE 40.
If an oil is multi grade, i.e. it can be used both in winter as
well as in summer, the specification will be SAE 10 W-30.

Definitions in Lubrication
Fluid film lubrication
It is the lubrication regime in which through viscous
forces the load is fully supported by the lubricant within
the space or gap between the parts in motion relative to
one another (the lubricated conjunction) and solidsolid
contact is avoided.

Definitions in Lubrication
Hydrostatic lubrication is when an external pressure
is applied to the lubricant in the bearing, to maintain
the fluid lubricant film where it would otherwise be
squeezed out.
Hydrodynamic lubrication is where the motion of
the contacting surfaces, and the exact design of the
bearing is used to pump lubricant around the bearing
to maintain the lubricating film. This design of bearing
may wear when started or stopped, as the lubricant
film breaks down.

Definitions in Lubrication
Elastohydrodynamic lubrication
The opposing surfaces are separated, but there occurs
some interaction between the raised solid features
called asperities, and there is an elastic deformation on
the contacting surface enlarging the load-bearing area
whereby the viscous resistance of the lubricant becomes
capable of supporting the load.

Definitions in Lubrication
Boundary lubrication

The bodies come into closer contact at their


asperities; the heat developed by the local pressures
causes a condition which is called stick-slip and some
asperities break off.
At the elevated temperature and pressure conditions
chemically reactive constituents of the lubricant react
with the contact surface forming a highly resistant
tenacious layer, or film on the moving solid surfaces
(boundary film) which is capable of supporting the load
and major wear or breakdown is avoided.
Boundary lubrication is also defined as that regime in
which the load is carried by the surface asperities rather
than by the lubricant

Spectroscopy
This is an analytical technique whereby any type of radiation
whether it be visible, x-ray, infrared, ultraviolet, microwave is
split up into a spectrum and from the spectral indication
(Which is formation due to different wavelength of radiation),
presence of different contaminants are measured in a
lubricant.
