Managing Spare Parts Handover
What to receive
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Parts list | Part numbers, descriptions and quantities |
| Criticality | Which items stop production if they fail |
| Suppliers | Where to buy and the lead time |
| Consumables | What is used routinely and how often |
| Storage | Conditions required for each item |
| Records | Where they are stored and who owns them |
Practical steps
- Physically check the parts against the list at handover.
- Enter the critical items into your spares system immediately.
- Agree who pays for the starter kit and what it covers.
Spare parts commitments should be in the contract. Confirm what is included before handover.
