Managing the After Sales Logistic Network— A Simulation Study of a Spare Parts Supply Chain

Abstract: Abstract.The after-sales services and in particular the spare parts business have acquired, in recent years, a strategic role for firms manufacturing durable or capital goods, as they represent a source of revenue, profit and a mean to achieve customer satisfaction and retention. Nonetheless, the huge variety and the characteristics of the demand of spare parts make the configuration and management of the spare parts inventory and distribution systems critical decision areas for managers.

“…Rossetti & Thomas (2006) presented a standardized, object-oriented, data-driven, simulation framework for evaluating a multi-echelon multi-indenture spare parts supply chain network. Persson & Saccani (2007 developed a model using discrete event simulation to evaluate spare parts inventory and distribution systems and to analyze the spare parts classification criteria, which led to the definition of inventory policy. Zhao et al (2015) presented a simulation framework to evaluate spares supportability, considering the complex conditions including product multi-failure modes, preventive maintenance, non-exponential distributions of spares demand, multi-echelon inventory system and lateral transshipments.…”

“…The heavy equipment spare parts industry will be correlated with two things, namely an increase in sales of heavy equipment, as well as an increase in commodity prices, of course, being one of the capitals in after-sales service that is so important and related to an increase in sales of parts which will have an impact on increasing revenue, increasing profits (Suwito, 2022) (MacCarthy et al, 2022). if appropriately managed, and is essential for achieving customer satisfaction (Persson & Saccani, 2007). PT XYZ has a special division for after-sales service, namely a parts division for sales and support of spare parts and a service division for unit repair services.…”
