In our MRO business, which performs periodic maintenance, repair, and overhaul of sold products, delays in parts procurement may constitute a risk of prolonged repair periods, resulting in a disruption of customers' business operations. Therefore, it is required to have a reliable system in place at all times. On the other hand, however, products may consist of hundreds of thousands of parts or more, and it is not realistic to keep a huge level of inventory at all times.
To solve this problem, we have developed an optimization calculation technology for parts inventory level in our MRO business and implemented it as an inventory strategy planning system. This enables the prevention of prolonged repair periods due to stockout. This report describes the outline of the developed technology.
