UPS has chosen Baxter Planning Systems to provide parts planning software.

The company’s service includes parts warehousing, returns, repairs, management of clients’ critical spares inventory, tracking of end-to-end parts movement and expedited delivery to meet warranty obligations and minimize operational downtime. The parts planning service is aimed at identifying ways to balance the cost of holding inventory against the penalties of warranty contracts by having the right parts at the right place and right time, UPS said in a statement.
