Herein, the authors provide<br>the basis for a proposal and justification for a permanent<br>full-time parts designated position responsible for protecting<br>the value of the inventory on shelf. Its aim is to develop and<br>maintain a parts nomenclature system, analyze the dynamics of<br>the stocking levels and evaluate market analysis. This person<br>will also eliminate delays of providing a part for<br>repair/corrective maintenance, and write policies &amp; standards<br>pertaining to parts management.</p> ER -
