8. Frequently Asked Questions about Defective Spare Parts Management (DSPM).

1. Does contracting out DSPM result in the loss of internal expertise?
This may occur; however for most firms DSPM is a support service, not a core business competency – and therefore rarely a source in itself of competitive advantage to a firm. Infinet Service Solutions will develop tailor made confidential reports of your company’s specific needs, ensuring that all strategic information is retained and updated in your databases.

2. Is control lost in contracting out DSPM?
By specifying in the contract exactly what is required, in many situations your firm actually gains control over a situation that currently may be less than efficient and effective.

3. Contracting out DSPM appears expensive?
DSPM costs depend on your firm’s individual needs, but Infinet Service Solutions’s aim is to commence management projects within a clients existing budget. If this is not possible in the short term (due, for instance, to capital outlays and staffing) , an establishment fee maybe appropriate. The DSPM contract is reviewed regularly and savings achieved are split between the parties. Any increased fees are restricted to measurable cost increases.

4. How long is a typical DSPM contract?
A typical DSPM contract covers a two year period. This enables
Infinet Service Solutions to introduce sustainable improvements in a company’s DSPM cycle.
