Spare Parts Logistics: Smaller spare parts stores on site
Central stocking and fast delivery of critical spare parts
When a fault in an instrumentation, electrical or control system component stops or threatens to stop your plant, you need to be confident of quick access to the spare parts you urgently need. This often leads to the establishment of an extensive local spare parts store, an approach that involves great complexity and expense without guaranteeing fast access to every vital spare part possible.
The Siemens spare parts logistics service, on the other hand, offers an assured global spare parts supply for maximum plant availability. Our spare parts concept rests on three central pillars: a strategic spare parts store on site, a centrally-managed Siemens store and a fast and efficient spare parts logistics service. What this means for you is significantly lower costs for your own spare parts store, which can be reduced to as little as 15 percent of its original size after optimization. Spare parts logistics and storage for obsolete spare parts can also be contractually agreed.
The strategic on-site spare parts store is stocked in close coordination with the operator to ensure that critical spare parts are quickly to hand when needed in an emergency. The central store, in turn, holds spare parts that are needed less frequently. A network of partners ensures a smooth spare parts logistics service capable of delivering spare parts rapidly to anywhere in the world rapidly – on the next working day in standard scenarios and as an immediate emergency shipment in the most urgent cases. In fact the optimized spare parts logistics service even provides exemplary response times for rarely required spare parts that have to be sourced ex works.
Your benefits:
- Smaller on-site spare parts store means low up-front investment
- Lower costs due to smaller spare parts store with reduced capital lockup and cost-efficient store management
- Assured availability through the immediate provision of spare parts in the event of a (threatening) plant outage – even for obsolete spare parts
