AI Technical Summary
The current management of spare parts for weather radar relies on personnel experience, resulting in low spare parts utilization, risk of stagnant inventory, and a lack of scientific and intelligent management.
By using a lifespan simulation-based approach, an optimal lifespan distribution model is constructed. Monte Carlo simulation is then used to predict spare parts demand, including Weibull distribution, exponential distribution, log-normal distribution, and normal distribution. A forecasting model and calculation process for the demand of weather radar spare parts are then established.
It improves the quantitative calculation capability of spare parts demand forecasting, reduces the risk of obsolete inventory, and enhances spare parts utilization and management sophistication.
