SMART Stock Spare Parts
Inventory for OEMs

When a customer’s equipment breaks down, they’re not asking for a lead time. They’re asking for a lifeline.

That’s where General Machine’s SMART Stock™ Program steps in — your all-in-one solution for spare parts inventory for OEMs.  We help equipment manufacturers and OEMs build, stock, and manage critical spare parts so you can say “we’ve got it”every time — without the warehouse chaos or capital drain.

Because “out of stock” should never be part of your vocabulary.

The Challenge:
Low-Volume Parts, High Expectations

You build reliable machines — but when a customer calls two years later needing a replacement bracket or housing, the game changes. You’ve got three bad options:

  • Keep a warehouse full of slow-moving OEM spare parts
  • Stop production to crank out a single component
  • Or worst of all — send your customer to a competitor

That’s how great equipment companies lose good customers. Our solution? A smarter, faster, leaner way to manage OEM spare parts inventory without the headaches.

The Solution:
Build It Once. Stock It Smart.

We help OEMs streamline their spare parts inventory management so you’re always ready — without wasting resources.

Our SMART Stock™ system is designed for:

  • Legacy parts for older machines
  • Low-volume, high-value components like brackets, housings, and pins
  • Custom runs that don’t fit traditional production schedules
  • Complex parts that clog up your shop floor

It’s the smart middle ground between “too small to stock” and “too important to skip.”

Our Process: From Prototype to Stockroom

Part Identification & Intake

You send a drawing, CAD file, or a mystery part that’s been hiding in a bin since 2003. We’ll reverse-engineer it if needed.

Prototyping & Production

We manufacture to spec — one part or one hundred. Our CNC and manual machining setups give you precision and flexibility for any OEM spare parts run.

Stocking & Fulfillment

We hold inventory in our facility and ship on demand — so you maintain availability without the overhead. It’s spare parts inventory for OEMs done right.
