We see some Parts Managers who are scared to order parts they sell as big parts, or they haven’t seen enough activity yet. Sometimes even if the value is “high” they won’t order parts for inventory. All of these reasons are usually backed by loose definitions.
This is not how you manage an inventory. You manage based on risk and probabilities the part will sell. Having a proper methodology to bringing parts into inventory is the only way to run a parts inventory (see prior posts). Anything less than that is signing up for low fill rates, lost sales, and repeat customer visits for 1 repair you get paid once for.
