Spare Parts Management

What is Spare Parts Management?
Spare Parts Management covers the planning, procurement, storage and provision of spare parts for IT hardware. The aim is to be able to carry out repairs quickly and comply with agreed service levels.

Classification: Critical success factor in maintenance and TPM
Spare Parts Management is particularly relevant in hardware maintenance, TPM services and business-critical infrastructures. The benefits are shorter repair times and higher system availability. Risks arise from excess stock, obsolete parts or missing components. The added value lies in stable service provision, reduced downtime costs and effective support for SLA and availability targets.
