ABSTRACT
Effective management of spare parts inventory system plays key role for successful execution of the maintenance plan of equipment and vehicles. This study is focused on spare parts management system of HED-Kathmandu. It is found that no effective spare parts management system is followed except to fulfill some formalities as prescribed by the financial rules and regulations. Study of spare parts of three major types of equipment shows that the unplanned spare parts expenditure is the major cause of high inventory level. It is also found that the warehouse is largely occupied by non moving parts.
