Phase out management

In contrast to the ramp-up management , phase-out management (also phase-out management) deals with the targeted adjustment of the material stocks of expiring products to declining production numbers. The focus is on logistics , in particular on internal and external suppliers , the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and spare parts (ET).

The aim of the phase-out management is to avoid situations of material surplus or shortage with the corresponding financial consequences during the phase-out. It is crucial that security of supply is guaranteed.

Content

The main content is explained below using the example of a vehicle being phased out in the automotive industry .

• Assessment of the possible risk of the supply
• Regular coordination with all parties involved
• Permanent comparison of stocks
• Creation of a storage concept for the supply of spare parts
• Development of scenarios for recovery and scrapping
• Controlling the cost of the run

General procedure

• Determination of the entire range of parts
• Definition of the critical scope of parts
• Definition of real production figures
• Coordination and controlling

Fields of action

The real actual stocks, e.g. B. on the assembly line and in the warehouse must be adapted to the actual remaining requirements. In order to receive timely notification of the excess or insufficient coverage of the remaining requirements, a permanent comparison between the remaining requirements and the available inventory must be made and the delivery schedules must be controlled.

Potentials

There is already great potential in the targeted adjustment of the cumulative quantities on the basis of the inventory of a critical range of parts. One achieves an approximation of the real requirements. Forecast procedures within the parts requirement determination must be adapted appropriately. A need smoothing makes shortly before the final run z. B. no sense. In addition, other qualitative potentials such as This can be ensured, for example, by reducing the number of special trips and by quickly recycling parts.

In the area of ​​spare parts supply for machines and systems, specific FC management on the production side can also map scenarios that allow reuse and / or recycling considerations.
