This paper focuses on the spare parts inventory management of a
maintenance provider of the health sector, where the commitment to ensure the
agreed customer service level and the guarantee of maximum availability of the
devices are relevant issues. Spare parts inventory management means handling
with unpredictable consumption, since in most cases, it is impossible to know in
advance when a specific spare part will be necessary or the needed amount. Determining
an adequate inventory management policy for spare parts, specifically
for unplanned maintenance operations is essential to provide the contracted service
level. Considering that the criticality of a spare part has consequences regarding
the availability of an equipment and service level agreement, the spare parts
were classified in terms of quantity, value of usage and criticality. Based on this
classification, differentiated service levels and inventory management policies
were adopted for each group.
