SPAS
The Structural Parts Availability Service is a logistic program that allows operators to avoid large investments in expensive spare parts, such as flight control surfaces and doors. Operators can rely on the availability of these structure parts at Fokker Services.
Inventory Optimization Analysis
Inventory Optimization Analysis provides the operator a Stock Consultancy Service in order to provide a recommendation that contains the right balance between the Stock Investment and the Service Level. It will establish a clear picture of the current Operator stock level versus availability. The stock will be seperated in, as called, "dead" stock, surplus stock and shortages based on the operators consumption rates in the past few years. As a result Inventory Optimization Analysis will maximize your service level while your investment will go down. Inventory Optimization Analysis will enhance control and visibility for your management. The Analysis can include all inventory types such as repairables, expendables, consumables and tooling. Availability can be optimized to a maximum, when Fokker Services, at their facilities, increases the availability of parts that has been specificly used by the operator, while as a result the operators stock on site will decrease in value and qty to a minimum required.
