One part, no. X135, can be purchased for $100 each. Carrying anddisposal costs are estimated to be 145 percent of the purchase price over the life of the turbine. Astockout would cost roughly $88,000 due to downtime, ordering, and “special purchase” factors.Historical records based on the performance of similar equipment operating under similar conditions suggest that demand for spare parts will tend to approximate a Poisson distribution with amean of 3.2 parts for the useful life of the turbine.a.
