Information System Construction of Spare Parts Supply Based on Supply Chain

Abstract

Equipment spare parts in equipment maintenance play an important role in the management, maintenance and repair of damaged equipment. Information system of spare parts supply is constructed based on supply chain. The generic configuration of supply chain is introduced, based on which the information system of spare parts supply is established. The proposed information system includes three levels. The lowest level is spare parts supply entity level which mainly includes all sorts of entities involved in spare parts supply activities. The middle level is spare parts data collecting level which including information resources integrating platform and spare parts information data collecting platform. The highest level is spare parts data releasing level which includes common information platform and management information platform. The optimization of spare parts supply system architecture is also proposed through analyzing the business process of spare parts. The proposed information system architecture provides an effective method and design thought for spare parts supply chain design and optimization.
