In manufacturing companies is known as cross-country skiers part an acquisition part , which supply or replenishment time that it allows the production life of the product, which is the cross-country skiers part as is so long, component or assembly , contains considerable determined extent.

In addition, long-running parts are usually characterized by the fact that they cannot be procured in stock or can only be procured in small quantities due to their significant value or their order-related (customer-specific) design, since the resulting capital commitment of the stored stock would be uneconomical. This reduces the company's ability to guarantee short product delivery times through a correspondingly generous stock of long-term parts.

Optimal procurement planning for long-running parts is therefore of fundamental importance for the commitment and compliance with the shortest possible product delivery times.
