Preventive Maintenance Starts with Smart Spare Parts Planning
Introduction
Preventive maintenance (PM) is only as strong as the spare parts that support it. You can have the best technicians and detailed CMMS schedules, but if the right parts aren’t available on time, downtime will still disrupt your operations.
The missing link? Smart spare parts planning. In this post, we’ll show how integrating HUB’s procurement scheduling tools with your preventive maintenance strategy helps you keep your production lines running without surprises.
🔄 Why Spare Parts Are Critical to PM Success
- 🛠️ Maintenance Delays: Missed PM tasks due to unavailable parts cause future breakdowns.
- 💸 Emergency Costs: If you can’t plan, you pay extra for urgent procurement.
- 🏭 Production Risks: Preventive maintenance fails if spare parts aren’t synchronized with PM schedules.
🧠 The Smart Spare Parts Planning Approach
🔗 1. Align Spare Parts with Your CMMS
- Your CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) tells you what needs maintenance and when. HUB tells you what
parts are needed and ensures they’re ready.
- Example: A motor bearing change is scheduled every 6 months — HUB auto-schedules reorder alerts 4 weeks in advance.
📅 2. Automate Procurement Scheduling
HUB’s scheduling tools let you:
- Link spare parts orders to maintenance cycles
- Set recurring procurement for PM kits
- Build multi-month roadmaps for high-consumption items
🔍 3. Track Usage & Adjust in Real-Time
Things change — HUB provides live dashboards that monitor:
- Actual vs. forecasted spare part consumption
- Stock levels across departments
- Upcoming reorder points and maintenance-triggered needs
💸 4. Prevent Emergency Procurement
With smart planning, you reduce:
- Rush orders
- Expedited shipping costs
- Downtime linked to spare part shortages
✅ Conclusion
Preventive maintenance isn’t just about scheduling tasks — it’s about ensuring the right parts are ready when needed. By integrating HUB’s procurement tools with your CMMS, you gain control, visibility, and peace of mind.
