REMANUFACTURING IS NOT:
Repair/Overhaul:

• An imprecise term usually meaning the product has had enough work to make it operational again.
• A root cause analysis is usually not performed in the repair process which means the product may not perform like a new product.

Restored/Reconditioned:

• FAR 52.211-5 "Reconditioned - means restored to the original normal operating condition by readjustments and material replacement"

• Primary components come from a used product
• Disassembly is to the extent necessary to determine the condition of its components
• Components are thoroughly cleaned and made free from rust and corrosion
• All missing, defective, broken or substantially worn parts are restored to functionally good condition, or replaced with new/remanufactured parts.
• Product is restored to sound working condition, by machining, rewinding, refinishing or other operations performed as necessary.
• Product is reassembled and a determination made that it will operate as a new product.
• Remanufacturing programs are consistent with FAR Clause 52.211-5
• FAR Clause 52.211-5 "Remanufactured - means factory rebuilt to original specifications"
• All units retain form, fit, function and capability per specification defined in T.O. and drawing package
• Changes to form, fit, function are based on customer requirements and obsolescence
• Obsolescence issues can be met, while retaining form, fit, and function

BENEFITS OF REMANUFACTURING:

• Saves on average, 30% to 50% of the costs of new equipment
• Restores service life from 80% to 100% of original service life
• A proven method to support fleet modernization, insert new technology, and supplement acquisition costs of new equipment.
• Warranties comparable to OEM
