Based on the product of the delivery time points for the spare part (repair) and the cost points (manufacturing)
of the spare part, the delivery time/cost of the spare part is estimated according to Table 2.

Based on the product of the failure risk scores and the delivery time/cost points of the spare part, the criticality
indicator of the spare part is assessed according to Tables 3 and 4

To obtain data on the criticality of spare parts from which it is necessary to form an emergency stock, the obtained
criticality result is ranked from QS3 to QS0, after which QS0 and QS1 are excluded from the list, but if necessary, can be
considered and included in the list in agreement with the engineering director.
The sorted list for emergency stock QS3 to QS2 is ranked by:
• Criticality class from AA to A.
• Risk of failure from 4 to 1.
The received data is analyzed by the maintenance planning engineer for compliance with the emergency stock
list obtained after ranking:
• At the beginning of the list, all spare parts comply with QS3 – AA – risk of failure 4
• The next spare part on the list is QS3 – AA – risk of failure 3
• The next spare part on the list is QS3 – A – risk of failure 4
• The next spare part on the list is QS2 – AA – risk of failure 4
• The next spare part on the list is QS2 – AA – risk of failure 3
• The next spare part on the list is QS2 – A – risk of failure 4
• The next spare part on the list is QS2 – A – risk of failure 3
Next, in the same order, spare parts with failure risks 2 and 1.
The list obtained after ranking is sent to technical managers to set a priority group for replenishing the emergency
stock.
The number of priority groups is calculated based on the annual budget for emergency spare parts stock, the cost
of spare parts and is calculated using the formula (P*Q)1+(P*Q)2+(P*Q)x / B, where
P – cost of the spare part.
Q – the number of spare parts required in one position of the emergency stock list.
1; 2; x - one position in the emergency stock list.
B - the average amount of the annual emergency stock budget.
After the technical managers have completed the prioritization of emergency stock replenishment, the
maintenance planning engineer analyzes the results obtained in terms of compliance of the positions with the annual
emergency stock budget and sets the planned year of replenishment of the emergency stock for each position.
The resulting list of emergency stock is agreed upon with the heads of business processes of the engineering
directorate, the deputy director of engineering, the director of engineering and approved by the general director of the
enterprise.
Based on the approved list, the planning engineer, together with the reliability engineer, annually draws up a plan
for replenishing the emergency stock of spare parts.
