Potential development targets in spare part logistics

Abstract

The study reviews development actions carried out in maintenance and spare part services. The review focuses on case studies and other real-life examples that have been reported on. It is also discussed how to identify the situations where it is practicable to emulate the found development actions. An illustrative case example is used to demonstrate how to evaluate the suitability of some of the development approaches in practice. The summary may offer ideas for companies that are in early phases of their development work, and practical guidelines for evaluating the suitability of some development actions.
