Warship formation spare part support plan plays an important role in forming the warship formation readiness. The spare part support plan which is in accordance with the engineering practice is established by using inventory optimization management strategy. The support plan can be used to reduce the spare parts support funds while satisfying the minimum requirement of warship formation availability. A warship formation inventory optimization model which was based on spare part`s multi-echelon demand rate is built by taking the very low utilization rate of spare parts in the waters off Somalia as studying background, and the system support funds as the optimizing goal which is constrained by the minimum requirement of warship formation availability, and the calculation steps and the solution method are given. the decision and recommendations of warship formation spare part configuration is proposed by using the contrastive research on the different warship formation spare part support plans.
