Cost savings from spare parts

摘要

A new survey by DNV has identified how the Norwegian offshore industry can optimise its efficiency by enhancing spare part management."The Norwegian offshore industry has been reviewed with the objective of identifying gaps in performance between industry players," said Atle Stokke, project manager at DNV. The management of spare part inventories has not been a highly prioritised improvement area in some industries, including the power and offshore industries, said DNV. Although the first initiatives to improve the performance of spare parts management were started as far back as the 1950s, the implementation, and consequently the achievement, of improvements still varies quite a lot.
