Despite efforts to reduce inventory levels, site inventories continue to grow. This is not so much due to buying too much at one time, but buying parts for maintenance and then not actually needing to use them. Rather than optimize purchase quantities, nuclear supply chain is more about evaluating the cost of buying a part and not using it, and the cost of needing a part and not having it.
This session will explore the data and tools the industry has to make better buy or not-buy decisions, and when the answer is to buy, make better quantity to buy decisions.
