Redistributed manufacturing of spare parts: an agent-based modelling approach. Procedia CIRP, Volume 81, 2019, pp. 707-7122212-8271https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2019.03.180https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/14262Maintenance and repair activities from the perspective of OEMs are both considerable sources of revenue and expenses, particularly when part of a Product Service System (PSS). It is therefore necessary for an OEM that provides services bundled with products to ensure timely response without significant impact on cost. This paper proposes a make-to-order spare parts supply chain strategy through the adoption of Redistributed Manufacturing (RdM) where the supply chain is shortened and total cost is decreased. An agent-based model that portrays an OEM’s response to repair a failed equipment is developed to exhibit the potential time and cost savings gained by OEMs.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/redistributed manufacturingproduct service systemagent-based modellingArticle
