備損率
spare ratio


Explanation:
'lu' in the context should be 率。

As 备件(備件)=备损件(備損件) is 'spare part', I guess 備損率 can be translated as 'spare ratio'.

BTW, pin yin for 率 is 'lv', not 'lu'.

turns ratio


Explanation:
One measure of the effectiveness of spare parts management is referred to as the “turns ratio,” which is found by taking the usage of spare parts inventory over a given time period and dividing by the inventory stock level for that period. A higher turns ratio results from an increase in the amount of parts usage relative to parts kept in stock, and is indicative of more effective parts management than a lower turns ratio. For typical large-scale manufacturing enterprises, the turns ratio for spare parts inventory is around 1 or lower. Enterprises have increased turns ratios for sales inventory management, but have not achieved consummate increases in the turns ratio for management of internal inventories for spare parts and the like.

neutral  ADELLEBJ: 这可能指存货的周转率,请多指教。

  -> 周转率 seems to be 'turnover', but 'turns ratio' refers to what I think is the 損 part…the breakdown of components getting worn out and needing replacement.
