how does gps decide what parts to stock ags

AGS = Applied Global Services (the parts/aftermarket arm). A GPS engineer identifies which NEW parts of a new product need to be stocked, where they should be stocked (correct location/site), so that when a customer needs a spare part, it's available without a long wait. WHY IT MATTERS: the right part in the right place = tool uptime for the customer = revenue. Stock too little and you cause downtime; stock too much and you waste money. It's a judgment call informed by failure rates, part criticality, lead time, and customer base. Your angle: you think in terms of failure modes and field data — which is exactly how you'd decide what's worth stocking. Show you balance uptime vs cost.
