Multi-country spare parts programme for centrifuge fleet
Client: International wellsite services company (named on request under NDA)
Project Overview
An international service company operating decanter centrifuges across several continents wanted to reduce parts spend and downtime from stock-outs. Different regions were ordering different brands and specifications for the same nominal wear parts, and consumption reporting was fragmented.
The Challenge
- Centrifuge parts spend well above benchmark for the fleet size.
- Repeat stock-out incidents in remote regions causing lost operating days.
- Mixed OEM and low-quality aftermarket parts making failure analysis inconsistent.
- No central reporting on consumption trends or unit cost by region.
Paragon's Approach
Wear-part audit across the fleet with standardisation of specifications for tungsten-carbide protection, feed accelerators and discharge port hardware.
Dual-sourcing programme combining OEM parts for safety-critical items and qualified aftermarket suppliers for consumable wear parts.
Consignment stock arrangements at key operating hubs, sized against consumption rates and logistics lead time.
Monthly reporting on parts consumption, unit cost and stock-out incidents against the pre-programme baseline.
What Paragon Supplied
- Standardised tungsten-carbide scroll tile sets across the fleet
- Qualified aftermarket wear sleeves, feed accelerators and discharge inserts
- OEM safety-critical items via approved supplier channels
- Consignment stock at three regional operating hubs
