Spare parts Management
Learn how to better manage stocks, prioritise equipment...
In maintenance, a structure is necessary: budget, risk analysis, maintenance plans, technical characteristics, technical performance...
Having a high stock level is an expensive insurance policy. Critical spare parts are usually expensive parts that are rarely used and stocking them is often difficult to justify. One of the challenges is to find the right balance between storage costs and the cost of risk.

About the trainer
Serge Vanden Bulcke is a civil engineer (graduate of UCL). He spent several years designing and building mixing and grinding equipment for powdered products, then automatic handling equipment.
Since 1996, he has been active in industrial automation, and more particularly in the development and commissioning of automation and production monitoring systems. At the same time, he has been working on maintenance organisation optimisation projects since 2001, usually accompanied by the implementation of CMMS. Through the realisation of such organisational improvement projects, Serge has acquired a solid experience in maintenance management and asset management as well as in the change management often inherent to this type of project. He is certified in Asset Management by the Institute of Asset Management (IAM).
