Turn spare-part criticality into a stocking policy you can trust

Score every spare by failure consequence, lead time and downtime cost, see true availability across reservations and open maintenance requests, and turn impact-ranked shortfalls into one-click RFQs — all inside Odoo.

The problem

Maintenance teams stock spares by gut feel: a manager copies required parts from dozens of open work orders into a spreadsheet, cross-checks what is already on order, and still misses items. Native reordering rules treat every part the same, ignoring failure consequence and downtime cost, and on-hand counts hide what is already reserved against open repairs — so a part that looks available is not, and a single stockout can halt production for thousands per hour.

The solution

This app scores every spare part's criticality from failure consequence, lead time, downtime cost and usage frequency, then turns that score into a recommended min/max/reorder policy with a plain-language rationale. True availability nets out reservations, incoming orders and demand aggregated across every open maintenance request, so shortfalls are ranked by downtime-cost impact and resolved with a one-click bulk RFQ to the right supplier.

Capabilities

Everything a stocking decision needs, in one place

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Criticality Scoring

Score every spare part from 0-100 using failure consequence, supplier lead time, downtime cost per hour and usage frequency, then classify it Low, Medium, High or Critical.

02

Criticality-to-Policy Recommendations

Get a recommended min, max and reorder point for every part with a plain-language rationale explaining why — so a criticality score becomes a concrete action instead of homework.

03

True Availability Tracking

See on-hand, reserved, free, incoming and committed quantities side by side for every part and warehouse, so "we have five" never turns out to mean all five are already reserved.

04

Maintenance Demand Aggregation

Capture required spares directly on maintenance requests and roll every open request's demand into one view, eliminating ticket-by-ticket copying into spreadsheets.

05

Impact-Ranked Reorder Suggestions

Automatically calculate shortfalls against free and incoming stock, and rank the resulting reorder suggestions by downtime cost so the most expensive risk rises to the top.

06

One-Click Bulk RFQ Generation

Select multiple reorder suggestions and generate request-for-quotation purchase orders grouped by supplier in a single action, with quantities and costs pre-filled.

07

Full Reorder Lifecycle

Move every suggestion through Draft, Confirmed, Ordered and Received, and see at a glance whether a linked purchase is still a draft quotation or a confirmed order.

08

Equipment-to-Spare Linking

Link stocking policies to the equipment they protect, with a smart button on every asset showing how many policies cover it.

09

Multi-Company Audit Trail

Every policy and suggestion carries a sequential reference, full chatter history, scheduled activities and multi-company segregation, with daily automatic reorder-suggestion generation.

Workflow

How it works

1

Assess criticality

Record failure consequence, lead time, downtime cost and usage frequency for each spare part.

2

Review the recommendation

Compare the computed criticality score against the recommended min/max/reorder policy and apply or adjust it.

3

Track real availability

Watch true availability and aggregated maintenance demand update as stock and open requests change.

4

Resolve shortfalls

Act on impact-ranked reorder suggestions and generate supplier RFQs in one click.
