The warehouse does a receipt of this part (return to warehouse) & then creates a requisition for its external refurbishment and replaces this part with another part of the same material from stock, if any, which can be used by Maintenance for the time being. The Issued repairable spare part material is used in the Plant and when its usability ends, it is sent back to Warehouse for refurbishment by external vendor. Spare Parts Warehouse receives material at the time of initial procurement & then issues the material against the reservation to the Maintenance / user department. In the scenario taken up for illustration here, the Repairable spare items are managed by the Spare Parts Warehouse. The above cycle will be explained in the Demonstration section below, for the scenario considered in this illustration. In all these cycles, that happen on a particular spare part item, it is of vital importance to know at any time the number of refurbishments performed on a given individual spare part item, so as to enable to do proper planning of maintaining the adequate inventory in Warehouse for avoiding any resultant down times due to unavailability of a functional spare part at any given time. Later for repairable spare item that cannot be further refurbished, it can be posted for scrapping. Meanwhile the Maintenance department is satisfied by the supply of another functional spare part from the Warehouse, so that there is no stoppage due to non-availability of spare item. Later this DEFECTIVE spare part is send to external refurbishing contractor for repair & once completed, it is sent to the Warehouse as a REFURBISHED spare part. When the spare parts renders useless & cannot function anymore, it is returned back to the Warehouse as a DEFECTIVE component. This movement of Spare part between the internal maintenance / user department, External Supplier & External refurbishing contractor is highlighted by the terms – NEW, DEFECTIVE and REFURBISHED to indicate the condition under which the spare part moves from one area to another.Įxternal Supplier supplies the spare part in the NEW state. Referring the above flow process, whenever the Maintenance department comes across a breakdown, it identifies the spare part that has been damaged & it immediately replaces this faulty spare part with a new / usable spare part (in working condition), so that the system is restored. The following graphic provides an overview of External Refurbishment for repairable spares taken for this illustration: In the below scenario taken up ahead, we will go through the case, when the refurbishment has to be performed completely by an external vendor and the Inventory will be managed in the Spares Warehouse Process Flow

External Refurbishment for Repairable Spares Later, this faulty spare part can be refurbished again (by internal maintenance team or through an external refurbishment vendor) & can be re-used. In such kind of industries, the key components of equipment / production system are maintained at high availability (often referred to spare parts) whereby upon failure of the equipment, the faulty spare part from this equipment can be replaced by a new / working spare part already in stock, so that the equipment can be started again. where the resources availability is of utmost importance & any downtime due to the equipment or system failure may run into huge losses. The refurbishment of repairable spares is important for industries like process industries, mass production, etc. This document helps MM consultants to understand the way in which the external refurbishment process can be mapped with the Integration of Subcontracting Purchase Order, Split Valuation and Serial Number to handle the complete cycle of refurbishment and track the material in system with entire history of material movements for the particular serialized material Refurbishment for Repairable Spares
