ketteQ Service Parts Planning

Automatically apply the most accurate statistical forecasting method, including those for sporadic demand, at any level of hierarchy across multiple demand streams while projecting associated no-fault-founds (NFFs), returns and repairs considering all lead times, repair and return wash rates.

Generate leading indicator forecasts by install-base, contract, MTBF, MTBR, MTBUR, or by your specifically defined events enabling forecasting demand with little to no prior demand history. As demand history is gathered, the system will begin to learn, and rates can start to be automatically calculated.

Incorporate out-of-the-box external variables such as government policies, economic conditions, and industry indicators into demandforecasts to improve accuracy by automatically accounting forcausal factors at variouslags that may have a correlation with your demand.

Automatically generate ASLs for all parts and locations based on demand patterns, Parent analysis, or custom custom-configured methods like number of hits or time between occurrences.

Automate the calculation of inventory levels such as ROP, RROP, EOQ, REOQ, SMAX and RMAX based on part attributes and segmentation, considering lead times, taking into, costs, vendor price breaks and stocking strategies.

Confidently plan new product introductions and end-of-life inventory withhistorical data, market trends, failure rates, like products and parts, and sales forecasts into the planning process.

Calculate optimal safety stock levels to buffer against variability, ensuring part availability while minimizing excess inventory, includingcomplex part chaining.

Manage inventory across multiple locations, segments and product categories, optimizing stock levels at each echelon in your supply chain for maximum availability while balancing budgetary considerations.

Automate all supply orders for procurement, repair, replenish and balancing across the entire supply chain from Distribution Center (DC) to Fields Stocking Locations (FSLs) with both trigger-point and time-phased planning by segment.

Automaticallysize rotable pools and align operations for  internal or external repairs only buying new when the existing sources of supply are insufficient considering repair, return, no-fault-found (NFF) lead times, scrap rates and current and due-in inventory.

Make smarter decisions on whether to buy new, replenish, re-balance, de-manufacture or repair existing parts based on factors such as geography, segment, price, need date, and criticality.

Manage all aspects of part replacement chains, including demand forecasting, sourcing strategies and the use of good and bad inventory.

Develop and evaluate different inventory strategies through hierarchical scenario modeling, allowing you to choose the most effective approach based on your business goals and market conditions.

Real-time inventory monitoring, including inventory levels and rotable/exchange bank health as well as all other aspects of service parts planning with out-of-the-box configurable alerts to notify of potential issues before they disrupt operations.
