Planning for service parts supply chains can be a very complex endeavor. Common challenges include: long lead times, high cost parts, multiple sources for the same part, sporadic and low-volume part usage patterns, and requirements/ preferences of OEM vs PMA parts. Designed to conquer these challenges, GAINS® supply chain performance optimization platform helps service parts and MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) organizations overcome misaligned inventory — while avoiding endless IT projects. From planning demand to optimizing inventory and growing sales, service parts planners rely on GAINS for faster decision-making to deliver better service, maximize profits, and minimize costs with less effort. Our advanced capabilities like independent demand forecasting, item supersession, inventory classification, BOM planning, part/repair process optimization help to meet requirements on budget and on time, ensure repair parts availability, lower operating costs, increase service parts sales, and increase service levels.

Increased Agility. Optimized Plans. Better Service.
Most companies are running their service parts supply chains with outdated
systems and error-prone spreadsheets. That’s why savvy supply chain planners
rely on GAINS to plan tens of millions of parts, while minimizing service costs.
Continuously Optimize Demand and Supply

targeted service levels for every part and order. The performance optimization
platform leverages predictive analytics to forecast based on attributes like
attach rates or mean time to failure (MTTF).
Optimize Item Deployment and Service Level Policies

should be stocked, and at what service level. Our AI-driven platform easily
manages infrequent and low demand, and long lead times, while considering
carrying and handling costs, obsolescence, transportation and expediting
costs, lost margins, and even follow up service call costs.
Automate Inventory Redistribution and Condition-Based Supply Planning
GAINS quickly evaluates cost and risk tradeoffs of supply scenarios to ensure
targeted service levels are met at the lowest cost. Part redistribution from
another location, substituting surplus inventory of new parts for repaired part
demand, substituting across engineering revisions, routing purchases directly
to the impacted location, expedited transport, and sourcing from alternative
vendors can all be analyzed.

The GAINS AI-driven solution platform constantly recalibrates parts demand
and supply changes to boost customer service. Avoid stockouts or surplus
inventory with continuous planning to evaluate multiple scenarios and
achieve desired customer service levels at the lowest total cost.
