Abstract

Abstract It is natural to coordinate spare-parts inventory planning and maintenance. However, work in the former area often neglects part utilisation, and work in the latter the fact that effective execution of maintenance schedules is conditioned to the availability of the necessary spare parts. This paper is a call for further integration between the two areas, and to that end we review the literature on mathematical modelling and analysis of inventory-maintenance-planning. We are not the first to address this issue (though we take a fresh perspective to the problem), but we are the first to complement such review with a discussion of simple stock keeping rules that may be used effectively in practice. We identify a growing gap between modelling and application, between theory and practice, that justifies the presentation of these simple stock keeping rules for the joint planning of inventory and maintenance. Thus, our work should be of interest not only to researchers who are looking for promising avenues for future research, but also to practitioners who are seeking to improve inventory-maintenance operations.

联合维修和备件库存模型:实用库存规则的回顾和讨论

摘要备件库存计划与维修保养的协调是一件很自然的事情。然而，在前一个领域的工作往往忽视了零件的利用，而在后一个领域的工作则忽视了这样一个事实，即有效执行维修计划取决于必要备件的可用性。本文旨在呼吁这两个领域的进一步整合，为此我们回顾了有关库存-维护-计划的数学建模和分析的文献。我们不是第一个解决这个问题的人(尽管我们从一个新的角度来看待这个问题)，但我们是第一个通过讨论可能在实践中有效使用的简单库存规则来补充这种审查的人。我们发现模型和应用之间、理论和实践之间的差距越来越大，这证明了为库存和维护的联合规划提出这些简单的库存规则是合理的。因此，我们的工作不仅应该引起那些寻找未来研究前景的研究人员的兴趣，而且也应该引起那些寻求改进库存维护操作的实践者的兴趣。

期刊介绍： The mission of this quarterly journal is to publish mathematical research of the highest quality, impact and relevance that can be directly utilised or have demonstrable potential to be employed by managers in profit, not-for-profit, third party and governmental/public organisations to improve their practices. Thus the research must be quantitative and of the highest quality if it is to be published in the journal. Furthermore, the outcome of the research must be ultimately useful for managers. The journal also publishes novel meta-analyses of the literature, reviews of the "state-of-the art" in a manner that provides new insight, and genuine applications of mathematics to real-world problems in the form of case studies. The journal welcomes papers dealing with topics in Operational Research and Management Science, Operations Management, Decision Sciences, Transportation Science, Marketing Science, Analytics, and Financial and Risk Modelling.
