  • 1.  Critical Spares Planning

    Posted 12-14-2022 02:02 AM
    I am looking for any framework or procedure or standard reference document covering the identification of critical spares required with respect to technology & Asset configuration. E.g Critical spares for Combined Cycle Power plant or Reverse Osmosis(RO) Plant or PV plant?

    There isn't a specific framework or standard reference document that covers the identification of critical spares for technology and asset configuration. However, there are general best practices that organizations can follow when identifying critical spares.

    One approach is to conduct a criticality analysis, which involves assessing the potential impact of an equipment failure on the overall operation of the plant. This can help identify the spare parts that are most essential to the operation of the plant and should be prioritized for stocking.

    Another approach is to use historical data and maintenance records to identify the spare parts that are most frequently used or have the longest lead time to replace. These parts can also be considered critical and should be stocked accordingly.

    It's important to regularly review and update the list of critical spares to ensure it remains accurate and relevant to the current operation of the plant. This can help prevent equipment downtime and ensure that the plant can continue to operate efficiently.

    Dear Rashid 
    Critical spares idetified according many factors as criticality on the equipment (major/minor/..), Delivery time, replacement time, Break down time caused by its failure, cost, ... and accordingly you can identify the stock level (Min./Max.) and reorder level.

    I recommend “Managing Maintenance Storerooms” by Michael V. Brown
    https://a.co/d/b4SLiWs

    It is short, concise, practical, and written by an engineer. I’ve used this book repeatedly over several years for this kind of question.
