How much should be ordered for general spare parts such as bolts, nuts, and gaskets? How much should be prepared? 60%? Some companies keep very few of these items; when they’re needed, they have to look through the junk pile to find old ones and use those instead. Other companies are much more generous in this regard – they provide stainless steel bolts that can be used freely, which makes maintenance work easier. However, they are also careless and throw away the items that are no longer useful. . .
It depends on the specific circumstances of the company. If the company uses these standard spare parts frequently, it should place orders based on historical usage and demand, considering an amount of spare parts that will last one to two months. If the usage frequency is low, the number of spare parts can be appropriately reduced. At the same time, attention must be paid to the storage and maintenance of spare parts to prevent damage and loss. .
