How to determine the annual budget for spare parts and accessories
Thread Content
For the newly built 300,000-ton caprolactam plant, as construction will be delayed for a few years resulting in a higher demand for spare parts, how should the budget for these spare parts be determined?
The prerequisite is to estimate the approximate cost of relevant spare parts based on the requirements of the equipment engineers and the suggestions from various unit manufacturers, while also confirming the models and quantities
It depends on how you define it – there are vehicle spare parts and 2-year random spare parts; these are two separate categories. If you want to purchase them together, the cost will increase. The spare parts for the machine are intended only to meet the needs of starting up operations, and are prepared to address any issues that may arise during operation and trial production within one year. The 2-year random spare parts are your regular spare parts, sufficient for daily production needs. For example, the bearings for pump spare parts fall under the category of 2-year random spare parts; it is not necessary to have spare parts for operation, and even if any are provided, the quantity should not be large, as the standard for 2-year random spare parts is usually 200%, while that for operation-related spare parts is 100%. Once the main principles are established, the budget can be determined based on the list.
One spare parts list per column； 2. Take into account the vulnerable parts listed and the quantities consumed during the commissioning process ； 3 For special spare parts and critical equipment, it’s best to purchase them according to the manufacturer’s requirements; don’t skimp on this expense. 4 If you really want to save money, then keep the contact information ready so that you can purchase them at any time.
