MRO Sector
Supply Chain Planning for MRO can be a very complex endeavor. 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® has functions to help address these challenges. Powerful, built-in advanced analytics, stochastic models, and proprietary algorithms provide MRO companies with a new level of decision support to dynamically optimize the various complexities inherent in supply chain interdependencies and enable the achievement of targeted service levels, maximized margins, and minimized costs.
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, ensure repair parts availability, lower operating costs, increase service parts sales, reduce expediting and carrying costs, and increase service levels.
