What is meant by Cannibalization Of Parts in logistics?
Cannibalization of parts means, taking the part from the unit / machine, it doesnt mean that the part is scrap, it is new part sometimes that have to put in the machine that is urgently needed and have to put it back once the item is available in the market.
when the concerned division need a part from the stored equipment , I take one of two action :
1- create a new two code with new description for the part and to the equipment without the needed part
2- if the part been taken is for short and temporary time , write a note on the item card display which part is missing now
cannibalization simply means removal of usable parts from any machine for the purpose of using it to another machine.
will give an example which i have faced personally. if you are an automotive dealer and you have a lot of vehicle stockes in your yard. you have an immedieat requirement for a spare part in the workshop for a car and you dont have it in stock. At that time you can take the same spare part from your stock vehicle with the permission of the management and use it for your customer. Then later you have to replace the part which you taken from your in stock vehicle.
hope the answer is clear to you. Thanks
cannibalization: is fast help from other machine or equipment until you get new parts from supplier
