Research On Inventory Control And Management Of Spare Parts For Container Port Equipment

Container port is mainly engaged in container handling and transiting, and portof equipment primarily engaged in container operations heavy equipment, includingquay crane、RTG、fork truck、 handling lift truck、 reach stacker. They are bothimportant capital of port production and social wealth, How to manage portequipment scientifically, control elements rationally, reduce the cost，decrease thestock and raise the cash flow is the management level of equipment spare partsimportant manifestation of. This article is study on spare parts inventory control ofcontainer port, according to port production needs, have developed materialmanagement system. This article mainly gives an example of Tianjin Port containerterminal, it preliminary discussion on container port equipment spare parts inventorycontrol and management.Firstly, this article introduces the development trend of marine transportation in21st century. Combined with the characteristics of container transport, it can predictthat the trend of building the large container can not be reserved. In order to meet therequirement of the container’s loading in the future, the port must have high efficiency.The good service’s hardware conditions can only remain invincible in development.The premise of these conditions is to have stable mechanical equipment; the normalworking of mechanical equipment is based on the professional repairing team andpowerful spare inventory. By the research of the inventory control in the domestic andforeign spare parts. It defined the focus of this paper.Moreover, inventory management system for container port supplies has beendeveloped via the study of inventory classification of spare and accessory parts,combination of the expanded distribution map of port equipment supplies and theexperience of routine maintenance. The system classifies the spare parts of theequipments and goods according to the structure and work principles in detail.Through ABC analysis and CVA management approach, determine the category andpriority level of various goods in container port, which makes it possible forequipment manager of the company to formulate effective spare parts inventorymanagement measures based on the actual conditions in spot.Furthermore, by the understanding of spare parts inventory controlling method intraditional container port, the application of inventory controlling methods of suppliers controlling inventory, joint controlling between ports and spare parts ordermodel are discussed and the container port inventory controlling strategies areresearched and confirmed.Finally, it uses the TPM effectively in container port management and proposesthe management strategy and implementation of the TPM, provides somestandardized solutions of reference which achieves the standardization of the largecontainer port device management.
