ASTM A29/A29M - 05

 VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory, VMI) as a new inventory management, inventory management has changed the traditional concept and business model, it is a systematic, integrated thinking for inventory management, supply chain organization to allow the organization of the downstream inventory policy, strategic planning and order management. Based on this idea, the power companies can manage suppliers of spare parts inventory as their virtual inventory, specific methods of operation, materials management and enterprise according to production sectors

A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standard.Footnote 2 - For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications see related Specification SA-29/SA-29M in Section II of that Code.

ASTM A29/A29M - 05 Revision / Edition: 05      Chg:      Date: 05/01/05STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR STEEL BARS, CARBON AND ALLOY, HOT-WROUGHT, GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FORDocument Abstract(Footnote *)This specification(Footnote 2) covers a group of common requirements which, unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or in an individual specification, shall apply to carbon and alloy steel bars under each of the following ASTM specifications (or under any other ASTM specification which invokes this specification or portions thereof):In case of any conflict in requirements, the requirements of the purchase order, the individual material specification, and this general specification shall prevail in the sequence named.The values stated in inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.For purposes of determining conformance to this specification and the various material specifications referenced in 1.1, dimensional values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting values in accordance with the rounding method of Practice E 29.NOTE 1 - Specification A 29 previously listed dimensional tolerances for cold-finished bars; these are now found in Specification A 108.Footnote * -  According to the primary production sector plan developed reserves of spare parts, spare parts corresponding with the supplier signed a framework agreement, the supplier warehouse to establish a virtual inventory of the spare parts business. According to the urgency of the demand for spare parts, equipment purchase price by a certain percentage of the value of regular payment of negotiated custody, maintenance and testing costs.
