Abstract (ENG): |
Spare part logistics has faced a significant number of challenges including
spare part availability over recent decades, speedy on-site availability in
situations of need, space consumption for spare part storage and, last but not
least, potentially long distances from point of production or storage to point
of consumption.
Three-dimensional printing (3DP) or additive manufacturing (AM) is a
developing cluster of technologies, which may help to master these
challenges significantly better than before. Even if 3DP is not a universal
solution for all spare parts, for some spare parts it can already be used today,
and for others, it might be used tomorrow.
We suggest a simple management methodology (the PQR analysis) which
helps to identify potential business cases for 3DP in spare part logistics and
enables the harvest of “low hanging fruit” potential. |
