Abstract:The main objective of this research is to optimize REMONDIS Smart Infra’s truck inventory replenishment process for the service and maintenance trucks in such a way that the downtime of the corresponding mechanics caused by this process is minimized. Based on the zero-measurements obtained, the optimal truck inventory replenishment process can be realised by designing an optimal replenishment system according to one specific spare parts management issue known in literature as the repair kit problem. After evaluating and assessing the existing repair kit literature, the proposed formulation of the repair kit problem to be solved in this research is developed based on the specific requirements and assumptions of REMONDIS Smart Infra’s truck inventory replenishment process. In turn, a greedy heuristic algorithm has been proposed as the solution procedure to solve this repair kit problem formulation, which derives near-optimal replenishment systems within reasonable runtime. After performing the experimental evaluation of the solution procedure, the optimal replenishment system for specifically optimizing REMONDIS Smart Infra’s truck inventory replenishment process is presented and its practical implication for the operations of REMONDS Smart Infra is evaluated.
