Abstract: A method for forecasting a demand for rotable parts includes collecting demand data for one or more rotable parts associated with a product inventory. A demand pattern associated with the demand data is identified for each of the one or more rotable parts. A future demand associated with the one or more rotable parts is forecasted for at least one future demand period based on the identified demand pattern. An inventory level associated with each of the one or more rotable parts is established, for the at least one future demand period, a based on the future demand and a predetermined customer service level. The method also includes adjusting a manufacturing schedule associated with the one or more rotable parts based on the established inventory level.

Abstract: A method for analyzing service loss in a rotable supply chain includes receiving, in an inventory management system, an exchange sales order associated with a rotable part. The method also includes establishing a scheduled ship date associated with the exchange sales order. One or more supply chain events associated with an item on an exchange sales order are created, wherein the one or more supply chain events are indicative of the status of the item on an exchange sales order. A cause of service loss associated with the exchange sales order is determined based on the one or more supply chain events if the exchange sales order is not fully shipped by the scheduled ship date. A report is generated summarizing the cause of service loss associated with the exchange sales order.
