Abstract

This paper presents control structures for integrating decisions on spare parts inventories and repair shops. A different control structure is proposed for the various repair shop types recognized in practice. An overview of related literature is presented and open research topics are identified. The applicability of the control structures is verified in case studies. This paper furthermore aims to provide a basis for further research on designing control structures for the integrated control of spare parts inventory and repair shops. An agenda for further research is presented.
