“…Mirzahosseinian and Piplani [39] provide a repairable parts inventory model for a system operating under a performance-based service contract and analyze the interaction between inventory management, component reliability and repair facility efficiency. Van der Heijden et al [40] study the trade-off between repairable parts inventory level and repair and transportation time reductions. Godoy et al [41] provide a decision-making framework to profitably integrate the contractual conditions with critical spare parts management.…”

“…Van der Heijden et al [40] provide a method for the joint optimization of spare parts inventories and throughput times of repair and transportation for multi-echelon, multi-indenture spare part networks. Additional related papers with finite repair capacity considerations can be found in Sleptchenko et al [120], Zijm and Avşar [165] and Tiemessen and Van Houtum [166].…”

“…In multi-echelon, multi-indenture spare part networks, van der Heijden et al optimized a heuristic model considering inventory control and throughput time reduction by balancing the cost between TPT reduction and spare part inventories [20]. Costantino et al presented an innovative model, solved by marginal analysis to control the inventory of multi-echelon, multi-indenture spare parts.…”

This paper is a continuing studying about the volume of laptop spare parts, and it takes into account the users' repair intentions. We found that when a laptop is no longer working, whether it will be repaired is determined by the user's intention. The user's intention is related to the number of times that his laptop fails and to its use time, i.e., how long the laptop has been used. Therefore, this paper focuses on the volume of laptop spare parts calculation equation. First, we assume the failure process of laptop parts is a Poisson process, and the failure probability of laptop spare parts can calculate at different times. We deduce the transition probability formula of users' repair intention related to laptop use time. Finally, the equation to calculate the volume of spare parts is presented in this paper and is verified by simulation. The simulation results agree with the theoretical values. From the simulation curve, we know that the volume of spare parts will decrease sharply when the laptop use time is long. After having used a laptop for five years, a user is less likely to have a broken laptop repaired. Therefore, laptop factories could reduce the inventories of spare parts.

“…Plossl (1988) studied and presented the beneficial effects of better control (meaning reduction) of throughput times in all phases of planning, execution and control of manufacturing and showed how well-run companies are achieving such reductions. Van der Heijden et al (2013) developed a heuristic for the joint optimization of spare part inventories and TPTs in repair and supply based on pricing of TPT reductions for multi-item, multi-echelon, multi-indenture spare part networks. Their heuristic is easy to apply and yields significant cost reductions compared to the standard VARI-METRIC method for spare part optimization where TPTs are fixed.…”

The present economic situation across the globe calls for intense efforts to maximize production in minimum throughput time and cost to enhance operating performance and the quality of products. The problem with manufacturing/ testing goods forces the process owners to be organised and direct attention to minimise the global throughput time within the manufacturing enterprise. Minimising time has a chain effect to enhance the worth of manufacturing/testing processes. The minimisation of cycle time consequently enhances the quality. This report describes an improvement process based on lean thinking in order to reduce throughput time of limited test (Denier test) for grading silk quality. For an implementation of the adaptive work, it is important to know about the time needed for the various steps involved adding their time to find the total time in the existing system by process mapping to find opportunities to reduce time. The results of the study show that time can be reduced in theprocess of limited test from 350 min to 220 min (Multiendsilk) and from 246 to 133 min. (cottage basin)eliminating various causes such as waiting time, absenteeism so on thus improving throughput time. The novelty of the study is that it is the first one to apply total quality management concept in silk testing unit for throughput time reduction from which a standard table has been created for limited test (avoiding non value added activities) for referring for throughput time involved to complete silk denier test faster. Keywords: Multiend silk, Cottage basin silk, throughput time, Kilcha, Denier
