Abstract

See full text

A method for analyzing service loss in a rotable supply chain includes receiving, in an inventory management system, an exchange sales order associated with a rotable part. The method also includes establishing a scheduled ship date associated with the exchange sales order. One or more supply chain events associated with an item on an exchange sales order are created, wherein the one or more supply chain events are indicative of the status of the item on an exchange sales order. A cause of service loss associated with the exchange sales order is determined based on the one or more supply chain events if the exchange sales order is not fully shipped by the scheduled ship date. A report is generated summarizing the cause of service loss associated with the exchange sales order.
