Service Parts

Planning for service parts supply chains 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.

Designed to conquer these challenges, GAINS® supply chain performance optimization platform helps service parts and MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) organizations overcome misaligned inventory — while avoiding endless IT projects. From planning demand to optimizing inventory and growing sales, service parts planners rely on GAINS for faster decision-making to deliver better service, maximize profits, and minimize costs with less effort.

Our advanced capabilities like independent demand forecasting, item supersession, inventory classification, BOM planning, part/repair process optimization help to meet requirements on budget and on time, ensure repair parts availability, lower operating costs, increase service parts sales, and increase service levels.
