Equipment overhaul is usually implemented as needed while the service lines of the working parts, in most cases, do not coincide with one another. A study was conducted that showed that losses in used parts are a substantial part of the effective loss, and that these losses cannot be disregarded. As these losses increase, so does the number of part changes. In other words, the need for spare parts is determined by the number of underworn parts no less than it is by the worn out parts. A method for calculating the need for replacement parts is discussed.
