Role of Additive Manufacturing In Efficient Spare Parts Logistics
Spare parts management is fraught with difficulties: extended lead times, overproduction due to low purchase quantities, logistics, and storage costs are common occurrences. By the time the part is required, the supplier may no longer be able to supply it. For example, buses and trains are typically in service for 20 years or more. So when there is a need for spare components, they are usually discontinued.
