Spare parts & stock

Know what is on board before you buy again.

Track stock and spare parts on each ship: what came in, what was used and what is running low. You buy based on what is really on board.

Why stock control matters

Running out stops work, and too much stock ties up money.

If you cannot trust the numbers and usage history, teams buy in a rush, buy parts they already have, or find a shortage in the middle of a job.

Missing parts delay jobs

A planned job turns into a delay when the part is not there.

Double stock ties up money

When one part has different names, or stores are kept apart, stock you already have is hard to find.

Usage without a reason

If stock changes are not linked to a job or ship, planning gets harder.

How stock is tracked

From what is on board to what you need to buy.

Every change is recorded, from the ship’s store to the next order.

01

Set up each ship’s stock

Sort items by ship, department, store, unit and minimum level.

02

Record movement

Record parts used, received, transferred and corrected, with monthly history.

03

Link usage to the job

Link what was used, and what is short, to maintenance or daily work on the ship.

04

Reorder from the facts

See current stock and what you expect to need when you make a purchase request.

What you can do

Stock with its full history, not just a spreadsheet.

Ship and office teams both see current quantities and the history of every movement.

Stock by ship and department

See stores and spare parts where they actually are.

Movement history

Track parts received, used, transferred and corrected, with monthly records.

Low-stock warnings

See items that drop below the minimum level you set.

Reorder decisions

Use current quantity and need when deciding what to reorder.

What to measure

Measure parts on hand and money tied up in stock, together.

The goal is the right stock, not more stock.

Times parts ran out

Needed parts were not there when a planned or repair job needed them.

Count difference

The gap between the quantity in the system and a checked physical count.

Emergency orders

Urgent orders and freight cost because the stock was not there.

Start with the critical spares on one ship.

Clean up item names, check quantities, link usage to jobs, then count how often parts run out and how often you buy in a rush.
