Spares & repair
Right-size spares for damage modes and lead times - without starving remote sites.
How we approach Spares & repair
Spares strategies balance MTBF data with operational pain: a cheap part with long lead time can ground a site. We define critical spares lists and regional stocking tiers.
Repair procedures specify patch materials, seam methods, and acceptance tests so field fixes don’t become hidden liabilities.
Serialization and batch tracking for fabrics and films support recalls when suppliers change.
