Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the need for a central warehouse for spare parts distribution in the after-sales market for manufacturing companies. Research question: What are the potential benefits and challenges of a central warehouse for spare parts distribution in the after-sales market for manufacturing companies? Method: This study has been inspired by the deductive approach with a qualitative research design, and with a case study. A literature survey has been carried out, where previous scientific research has been analysed. Empirical data was collected from the case company with interviews in both structured and semi-structured form. Based on an analysis of literature and theory, a conclusion has been drawn up. Conclusion: Both benefits and challenges have been identified, but the study shows that more benefits than challenges have been confirmed. Thus, it can be concluded that a central warehouse will show more value in terms of benefits for companies, but not without facing some challenges on the way.
