  1. MultiEchelon Techniques in Optimal Inventory Modeling of Systems with Repairable Items Presented by Nuriye Kaptanlar 14/05/2003

  2. Repairable Spares Optimization • What is Spares Optimization? - At the core of supply chain management - Aimed at determining the best* answers to - How many spares should we buy? - Where should we put them? * Best is satisfying a performance goal for the lowest cost.

  3. Why to hold spare inventory? • In general - To attain a certain level of end-item (i.e. aircraft) availability, in order to be able to continue the daily operations. • Since spare parts are too expensive, -the reduction in the amount of inventory kept for them while achieving the desired operational availability would cause significant savings -managing spare parts’ inventory effectively would enable to achieve a higher operational availability with the same amount of investment.

  4. What has been done? • Has been researched since late 60s • MODMETRIC United States Air Force Logistics Command • Manugistics, I2, TFD • The software Vari-METRIC • Turkish Air Force Project: - SAP R/3 + APO + Vari-METRIC - to achieve desired operational availability levels of different aircraft types

  5. Characterization • Operational versus support sites • Single versus multiple echelons • Divergent versus convergent systems • Acyclic versus cyclic models • Condemnations allowed versus conservative systems • Deterministic versus stochastic demand • Item based versus multi indenture structure

  6. METRIC Weapon System Base Stock Military Supply Points Fleet Serviceable Unserviceable Depot Repair In-house Repair

  7. METRIC Assumptions • Demand for each item~ Compound Poisson • Demand is stationary over the prediction period • Demand on where repair is to be accomplished depends on the complexity of the repair only. • Lateral resupply is ignored • System is conservative (no condemnation)

  8. METRIC is used for • Optimization: • Determining optimal base-depot stock levels for each item • Redistribution: • Allocating the stock between the bases and depot • Evaluation: • Providing an assessment of the performance and investment cost for the system of any allocation between the bases and depot.

  9. Literature • Review papers - Nahmias (1981) - Demmy and Presutti (1981) - Diaz and Fu (1995) - Guide and Srivastava (1997) - Kennedy, Patterson and Fredendall (2002) • Classification according to: - solution methodologies proposed - mathematical models used (continuous, periodic review and queuing models) - stochasticity of demand

  10. Literature ‘ed • Sherbrooke (1971) -option of minimizing the expected number of non-operable aircrafts -approximation • Simon (1971) -completely recoverable -completely consumable -partially recoverable items -with some rate of condemnation -deterministic shipment and repair times -Poisson demand process at the depot

  11. MODMETRIC • Muckstadt (1978-79) - multi-indenture - the optimal stock levels for - LRUs - SRUs - minimize E(backorders for LRUs) subject to budget constraint for investment - Lagrangian Optimization Drawback: limited to level echelon and two indenture case & complex

  12. Vari-METRIC • Graves (1985) - two-parameter negative binomial distribution to fit the distribution of backorders at the bases - considers the depot as a K-server service center resulting in dependent replenishment lead-times (different in METRIC) ~ an item at the depot could seize the service station directly if the server is idle and if the server is busy, the item should wait in the queue for the end of the repair of the preceding items.

  13. DynaMETRIC • Pyke (1990) - Deals with non-stationary demand conditions - Simulation based approximate approach - two general observations: (i) repair center’s utilization rate should not exceed 0.8, (ii) a decrease in transportation times result in utmost benefit

  14. Aproximations • Kim et al. (1996) - min the system costs s.t. fill rate - single indenture & have a finite population - allow repairs at both echelons - no inventory is kept at the depot level - significant computational speed • Cheung and Hausman (1993, 1995) - partial replenishments are not allowed for the multiple failures - cannibalization is included - the upper and lower bounds for the average number of backorders at the bases

  15. Aproximations ‘ed • Diaz and Fu (1997) • limited repair capacities • analyze the effects of limited capacity for numerous repair distributions
