Spare parts management is an essential part of network O&M, which ensures the stable operation of the network and also brings people a lot of trouble. Decisions on which parts to keep in stock and where to keep them require a careful evaluation of current and future needs. In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to order a part when it is needed, while in others, it is necessary to keep a spare part on hand to prevent downtime in the event of breakage or problems.
Taking the transmission network as an example, its spare parts are configured according to important chassis, but the actual utilization rate is very low, which will cause a lot of waste of resources. In one case, a customer bought nearly 600 spare parts, and only used less than 80 in three years. The used spare parts only accounted for 13.3% of the total number of spare parts, which caused a huge waste of resources. In addition, there will be other troubles in actual work.
Unknown spare parts status: The network scale has changed, but the number of spare parts has not changed; the spare parts board has been stored for a long time, and the working status of each device is unknown; the version and configuration of the spare part board have not been updated in time, and it is even incompatible with the currently cooperating network element Caused to be unavailable.
Slow response to emergency spare parts: Spare parts requested in an emergency cannot be delivered in time, network failures cannot be recovered after a delay, and how to guarantee the safe and smooth operation of the network.
Spare parts management is unscientific: There are many types of equipment on the network, which leads to complicated spare parts, time-consuming and laborious manual management, and frequent errors.
Warehousing and logistics costs are high: spare parts warehousing and delivery directly affect the safe and stable operation of the network, but the investment of dedicated management and high operating costs make customers have no time to take care of their main business.
