What is the graph on slide 5 of the ship husbandry Inventory Costs Carrying Cost vs. Ordering Cost
powerpoint?
, What is the y-axis of the Inventory Costs Carrying Cost vs. Costs
Ordering Cost graph?
What is the x-axis of the Inventory Costs Carrying Cost vs. Order size
Ordering Cost graph?
Know this graph!! Inventory Costs Carrying Cost vs. Ordering Cost
Category "A" goods Require stringent control including secure storage and frequent inventory counting.
Make up 80% of the value on the ship.
Category "B" Goods Require monitoring of potential change of status to A or C stauts and should be part
of a standard inventory control system. Make up 15% of value.
Category "C" Goods Make up 5% of value; made up of less critical and frequently consumed items.
What are secondhand spares? Parts that are not necessarily broken, and come from older ships in order to serve
as potential replacement parts on newer ships.
What is the graph on slide #9? Failure rate graph
What is the y-axis of the failure rate graph? Failure rate
What is the x-axis of the failure rate graph? Time
"Traditional View" failure rate Random failure, eventual wear-out zone
2% of those components will fail at the wear out zone
"Bathtub Curve" Failure rate High infant mortality, low level of random failure, eventual wear-out zone
4% of those components will fail at the wear-out zone and the infant zone
"Slow aging" Failure rate Steady increase in failure rate to 5% of the components
"Best New" Failure Rate Sharp increase in failure then random failure at 7% of the components
"Constant Random Failure" Failure rate Random - No age related failure pattern, constantly at 14% of components
