Strategi Pengelolaan Rantai Pasok Sparepart dalam Mendukung Keandalan Peralatan Operasional di Pelabuhan Batu Bara PT. Wahana Bara Sentosa Palembang

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis strategi pengelolaan rantai pasok sparepart dalam mendukung keandalan peralatan operasional di Pelabuhan Batu Bara PT. Wahana Bara Sentosa. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Informan penelitian ditentukan dengan teknik purposive sampling, yaitu Manager Maintenance, Supervisor Maintenance, dan Planner Maintenance. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi pengelolaan sparepart diterapkan melalui perencanaan kebutuhan berdasarkan jadwal preventive maintenance, kondisi peralatan, dan riwayat kerusakan, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan proses pengadaan, pengendalian persediaan, distribusi, serta pengelolaan lead time dengan melibatkan koordinasi antara bagian Maintenance, Planner Maintenance, Warehouse, dan Procurement. Penerapan strategi tersebut mendukung keandalan peralatan operasional karena ketersediaan sparepart yang sesuai dan tepat waktu dapat mempercepat proses maintenance, mengurangi waktu tunggu perbaikan, mempercepat pengembalian unit ke kondisi operasional, serta mengurangi risiko downtime dan kerusakan berulang. Dengan demikian, pengelolaan rantai pasok sparepart berperan dalam mendukung kelancaran maintenance dan menjaga keandalan peralatan operasional perusahaan.

ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze spare parts supply chain management strategies in supporting the reliability of operational equipment at PT Wahana Bara Sentosa Coal Port. The study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Research informants were selected using purposive sampling and consisted of the Maintenance Manager, Maintenance Supervisor, and Maintenance Planner. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that spare parts management strategies are implemented through needs planning based on preventive maintenance schedules, equipment conditions, and failure history, followed by procurement, inventory control, distribution, and lead time management involving coordination among the Maintenance, Maintenance Planner, Warehouse, and Procurement functions. The implementation of these strategies supports operational equipment reliability because the timely and appropriate availability of spare parts can accelerate maintenance processes, reduce repair waiting time, speed up the return of units to operational condition, and reduce the risk of downtime and recurring failures. Thus, spare parts supply chain management plays a role in supporting maintenance continuity and maintaining the reliability of the company’s operational equipment.
