SIDEL launches new service for parts management

Sidel has launched a new spare parts service that aims to lower costs for beverage producers by encouraging them to take a more proactive approach to parts inventory management. Realising the need for timely provision of original spare parts, whether for emergencies or normal wear and tear, Sidel is aiming to encourage a more proactive approach to inventory management of its high-quality original parts among its customers.  

"This is because spare parts have always been - and still remain - a critical part of beverage bottling line management.  By being proactive in the handling of spare parts, customers are equipped to avoid long-term stoppages and unnecessary downtime," comments Samuel Gobbe, Customer Services Director for Greater Middle East & Africa Zone at Sidel.

The new service is being offered by the company’s Spare Parts & Logistics team, part of the Sidel Services business unit. This unit is dedicated to providing a holistic approach to lowering total costs of ownership (TCO) and raising overall equipment efficiency (OEE) and productivity for the installed Sidel equipment of beverage producers worldwide.

The new service is a combination of three new order types (Emergency, Stock Replenishment and Maintenance); four recommended lists of strategically critical parts (Emergencies, Maintenance, Overhaul and Uptime), tailored to fit different production conditions; and a comprehensive portfolio of parts covering the company’s entire portfolio of equipment, past and present.

 

Sidel is encouraging beverage producers and bottlers, big and small, to plan ahead using the lists and order parts in advance. By doing so producers can reduce upfront costs, have the flexibility to better manage costs to meet demand, and avoid stoppages occurring without having critical replacement parts on site.
