Use accurate supplier and repair lead time data to improve availability while keeping inventory levels under control.
Improve stock decisions with reliable lead times
Lead time has a direct impact on stock levels and availability. Lanza helps you use the most reliable lead time data, so your inventory decisions are based on reality instead of assumptions or outdated figures.
Use actual lead time data instead of estimates
Lead times are often based on initial estimates or outdated contract data. In practice, supplier performance varies and actual delivery times may differ significantly.
Lanza tracks purchase and repair orders and allows you to use actual historical lead times as input for your planning decisions.
When transaction data is limited or unreliable, Lanza automatically falls back to default lead times, ensuring stable and consistent calculations.
This allows you to:
- Improve planning accuracy
- Reduce unexpected shortages
- Avoid unnecessary safety stock
Manage your repairables
Many spare parts can be repaired instead of replaced. Lanza incorporates both supplier lead times and repair lead times into your planning logic.
When data is available, Lanza also considers scrap rates to determine the most realistic total lead time.
This ensures that your stock calculations reflect real-world conditions, including:
- likelihood of repair vs replacement
- variability in repair cycles
- impact of scrap rates
Let your repair loop flow
While having the right turnaround stock, daily issues drip in. Think of unreturned defect parts, parts being scrapped or new buy POs that should be expedited.
The Repairables Assist gives you instant insight in the bottlenecks of your repair loop and prioritizes actions.
