The goal of this research project is to develop models, solution methodology, and decision support tools for spare parts supply chain network design. Recently, with an increasing interest in streamlining their supply chains, companies that operate a significant spare parts business are focusing on coordinating the operations involved in sparse parts distribution. This includes locating service facilities such as warehouses and service stations, deciding on where and how many to store of each part, and assigning customer demand to service facilities. The objectives are mainly to minimize the overall cost of the location, inventory and distribution operations, and to meet customer service requirements. The research project is motivated by an industry project which calls for the redesign of the spare parts supply chain for Bombardier Aerospace. Bombardier is a Canadian company and a major provider of spare parts for aircraft. Efficient design of their spare parts supply chain will help Bombardier maintain its competitive position in the industry. Bombardier and the Canadian Aerospace industry will benefit significantly from this research. Expected benefits include more responsive and cost-effective supply chains, increased customer service levels, and ultimately increased market share and revenues. Supply chain network design for spare parts is significantly different from other products in several ways: customer service requirements are more stringent because stock-outs can have substantial financial implications, demand is generally low and irregular, and prices of parts can be very high. Our approach will be to build and solve mathematical models that capture as much of the complicating aspects and realism of spare parts management as computationally possible.

本研究的目的是为零部件供应链网络设计开发模型、求解方法和决策支持工具。最近，随着对简化供应链的兴趣越来越大，经营重要备件业务的公司正专注于协调涉及稀疏零件分销的业务。这包括定位服务设施，如仓库和服务站，决定每个零件的存储位置和数量，并将客户需求分配给服务设施。目标主要是尽量减少选址、库存和分销业务的总成本，并满足客户服务要求。该研究项目的动机是一个行业项目，该项目要求重新设计庞巴迪宇航的备件供应链。庞巴迪是一家加拿大公司，也是飞机备件的主要供应商。高效的备件供应链设计将帮助庞巴迪保持其在行业中的竞争地位。庞巴迪和加拿大航空航天工业将从这项研究中受益匪浅。预期的好处包括供应链的响应速度更快，更具成本效益，提高客户服务水平，并最终增加市场份额和收入。零部件供应链网络的设计在几个方面与其他产品有很大不同：客户服务要求更严格，因为缺货可能会产生重大的财务影响;需求通常很低，而且不定期;零部件价格可能很高。我们的方法将是建立和解决数学模型，捕捉尽可能多的复杂方面和现实的备件管理计算可能。
