Forecasting is an operations manager's first line of defense in inventory control. The addition of a preprocessing step makes the application of traditional forecasting methods yield significantly better results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The concept of using the partial correlations present in a parts usage matrix, instead of attempting to apply bill of material relationships, is new. The resulting preprocessing equations are new. The value of improved forecasting is that it directly impacts manufacturing profitability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/02635570510624455","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,15]],"date-time":"2007-01-15T17:19:26Z","timestamp":1168881566000},"page":"1070-1083","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Parts remanufacturing in the oilfield industry"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Glenn E.","family":"Maples","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ronald B.","family":"Heady","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Zhiwei","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022012720071454100_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aiken, M.
