Abstract :
We present a decision support system for spare parts management in a wafer fabrication facility. The system is based on an analytical stochastic inventory model, which calculates the reorder level and quantity for each part to attain a specified service level. Results from our simulation study indicate that the policies suggested by the system either improve the service level or reduce the operating cost
