Specifying Spares Optimization Parameters
As described in
RBD Spares Files, you insert spares pools so that they can be assigned to blocks representing repairable or replaceable components. To calculate optimal quantities for spares and replenishment levels, anytime prior to running RBD calculations, you specify the values to use for the optimizations in the
Spares Optimization Parameters window.
While the following procedure describes how to open this window from the
RBD menu, you can also open it by clicking
View spares parameters on the
Optimize page under
RBD in the
Calculate window. For more information, see
Optimize Page.
1. In the System file, click in the RBD Table to make it active.
2. Select > > .
3. Specify the values to use for spares pools where optimal spare quantities and replenishment levels are to calculated.
4. When finished, click Close.
The next time you run RBD calculations, the values specified in the
Spares Optimization Parameters window, along with the values specified on the
Optimize page in the
Calculate window, are used for optimal spares and replenishment quantities where indicated. For more information, see
RBD Calculation How-Tos.
