Multi-criteria classification for spare parts management: a case study

Abstract Inventory management of spare parts for production equipment is a process that affects the performance of maintenance management and therefore productivity. This paper presents an ongoing project aiming to develop a spare parts classification for integration in a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) of a manufacturing company. The classification methodology should be able to define groups for which a stock management policy will be associated. Initially, a first classification is carried out to identify the necessity and importance of spare parts for maintenance. After that, a multi-criteria classification, including the previous maintenance classification, is used for defining the groups.
