About the role
In Service & Academy, you make sure our customers and service partners can keep their NEURA robots running. As Spare Parts Manager, you own spare parts end to end: what we offer, how an order becomes a delivery, what it costs, and how the business grows.
How you work
You are part of the Service & Academy team and report to the Head of Service & Academy. You work closely with Service Engineering, Development, Supply Chain, Finance and Sales.
Your mission & challenges
Your responsibilities, in order of priority:
1. Define spare parts
•
Define the spare parts portfolio for each NEURA product, together with Development and Service Engineering
•
Classify parts (e.g. wear parts, critical parts, recommended stock) and decide on which level they are replaced
•
Own spare parts master data and part numbering in our ERP system, and keep them current with every product change
2. Set up spare parts processes
•
Set up the process from quotation and order to delivery, returns and warranty handling
•
Build the demand forecast from installed base, failure data and lead times, and use it to define stock strategy: what is stocked where and when to replenish
•
Track KPIs such as availability and delivery lead time, and train the service team and partners
3. Define spare parts pricing
•
Define pricing model and price lists for spare parts, kits and exchange parts
•
Review prices and margins regularly, aligned with the Service Partner Program
4. Grow the spare parts business
•
Analyze installed base and sales data to forecast spare parts revenue
•
Develop offers such as spare parts kits and an online ordering channel, together with service partners and Sales
•
Set revenue and margin targets, report on progress and feed recurring failures back to Development
