Course Details

Accurate materials planning and forecasting are critical components in the management of spare parts, directly influencing the efficiency and reliability of industrial operations. Inadequate planning can lead to costly downtimes, excess inventory, or critical shortages, which can disrupt production processes and impact overall business performance.

This course explores the technical and methodological aspects of materials planning, focusing on the application of demand forecasting models, inventory control practices, and materials requirements planning (MRP) within the context of spare parts management. Participants will engage with practical scenarios and case studies to deepen their understanding of how to address the challenges of variability in demand and the complexities of managing spare parts inventory in dynamic industrial environments.

Through this course, attendees will gain the expertise needed to align materials planning with organizational goals, optimize inventory levels, and implement strategies that ensure the availability of essential spare parts, thereby enhancing operational resilience and cost-effectiveness.

The objectives of this course are designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills needed to excel in materials planning and forecasting for spare parts management. By the end of this course, participants will gain:

In-depth understanding of materials planning and forecasting for effective spare parts management
Skills and tools needed to accurate materials plan and forecast
Strategies and tools to forecast the demand for spare parts
The required methods to develop material requirements planning (DMP) for spare parts inventory management
The confidence to integrate inventory control procedures into materials planning and forecasting processes
Best practices to manage spare part inventory, and optimize its level
