Supply Chain Planning for the MRO can be one of the most complex endeavors. Common challenges include: long lead times, high cost parts, multiple sources for the same part, sporadic and low-volume part usage patterns, and requirements/ preferences of OEM vs PMA parts, among others. GAINS® (General Adaptive INventory Solution) has functions to not only help address these challenges, but will optimize the solutions to them.
Some of these functions include independent demand forecasting, item supersession, inventory classification, constrained service level optimization (CSLO), BOM planning, part/repair process optimization. GAINS will help to meet requirements on budget and on time, increase service parts sales, ensure repair parts availability, lower operating costs, increase service parts sales, reduce expediting and carrying costs, and increase service levels.
“MRO customers find GAINSystems appealing because it helps them achieve outstanding demand and overall business planning accuracy. The company’s solutions ensure customers always have parts on the shelf so that no system becomes out of service, thereby leading to improved customer service levels, significant reduction in stock-outs and related costs, and decreased inventory investment and operating costs.”
