| Abstract | A large number of spare parts are needed for an electric
power plant , and therefore the replenishment cost involved is
very high. Replenishments are usually placed with a few suppliers
where coordination of replenishment of orders for selected groups
of items can lead to significant savings in the cost of
replenishment . This study deals with the implementation of a
coordinated replenishment inventory control model to an electric
power plant . A comparison of costs is made among 3 kinds of
control systems, independent control (S ,s ) system, coordinated
control (S , c,s) system and (S , R) system. Not only the costs are
compared but the reliability of spare parts support is also
considered. In this study, the Safety Stock Budget Allocation
Model (which is a practical model when the budget for safety
stock is fixed, ) is selected to be t h e second model for designing
the safety stock level . The results of the ordering model will be
the input of the second model.
These models are applied to 11 suppliers with a total
supply of 1073 items. Computer programs were written for all
systems. . The results obtained have been analysed and
recommendations are made.
