The present invention relates to stores for spare parts and to the methods for allocating kits of spare parts. It relates, in particular, to the field of the automotive industry but also to any other industrial field in which vehicles or machines require different spare parts for their repair.
In a store for spare parts, each type of spare part is specifically stored in a compartment. This is, therefore, the case, for example in US 2003/055753, in which, in paragraph 60, it is mentioned that a kit consists of a container, i.e., a compartment. The kits, i.e. the containers or compartments, contain a set of parts. They may also contain consumables. As spare parts, it is apparent that the compartment, on the one hand, contains only one kit of the same parts and, on the other hand, the compartment or kit, which is considered to be equivalent, is permanently allocated to one machine.
