Streamline your service parts operations with a comprehensive self-assessment programme designed for Australian and global organisations seeking measurable improvements in supply chain responsiveness and service delivery. This structured framework empowers operations managers, supply chain leaders, and service executives to identify inefficiencies, optimise inventory performance, and reduce lead times across complex, multi-site environments.

Through three targeted modules, you'll gain actionable insights into the critical levers that drive service parts excellence:

  • Module 1: Demand Forecasting and Statistical Modelling
    Enhance forecast accuracy for low-turnover and intermittent-demand parts using proven models like Croston, SBA, and TSB. Learn how to fine-tune smoothing parameters, integrate engineering change data to anticipate spikes, and validate forecasts with business-aligned metrics such as WMAPE and service level deviation. Maintain model integrity while allowing controlled input from field teams.
  • Module 2: Inventory Stratification and Classification
    Move beyond outdated ABC analysis. Implement dynamic, service-driven classification that reflects actual downtime costs, failure rates, and repair cycles. Allocate stock strategically to balance financial objectives with service-level commitments, ensuring mission-critical parts are always available—without overstocking low-impact items.
  • Module 3: Network Design and Stocking Strategy
    Analyse the trade-offs between centralised consolidation and local warehousing based on real MTTR targets. Determine optimal stocking locations and safety stock levels that improve first-time fix rates while reducing total system inventory.

This self-assessment enables your organisation to align forecasting, inventory policy, and network strategy with operational realities—delivering faster response times, lower carrying costs, and higher customer satisfaction. Equip your team with a clear roadmap to service parts optimisation.
