Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing spare plug field inventory. In one embodiment, the method comprises: assessing spare plug inventory for field locations; responsive to the assessment, determining whether to adjust inventory level of the spare plug inventory according to one of the following: usage, demand, and seasonality; responsive to determining that the inventory level is to be adjusted, providing recommendations with at least one of a defined minimum level change and a defined maximum inventory level change; and providing reports depicting the recommended changes.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for implementing a field supply chain logistics system for managing spare parts inventory. In one embodiment, the method comprises: identifying locations for field service locations (FSLs) field warehouses for the spare parts, based on time or distance windows to deliver the parts to the field locations each FSL serves; collecting and validating data to compute optimal field inventory levels and minimum inventory levels for non-field warehouse, the non-field warehouse including central stock; physically setting up FSLs so that the FSLs functions as field warehouses and receive plug requests; generating optimal inventory profiles; opening FSLs for service; conducting plug inventory to retrieve plug excess and deploy new levels; and conducting after implementation review to verify that processes are being followed as expected and document lessons learned.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing spare plug field inventory. In one embodiment, the method comprises: obtaining field data related to managing the spare plugs in a region, the field data including various types of plugs; determining minimum and maximum inventory levels of each plug type allowed at each field location and for each different type of plug; and calculating inventory levels that minimize cost subject to user specified fill rates for the various types of field locations and plugs within the boundaries of the minimum and maximum inventory levels.
