Repair aims to extend the service life of a used product, through the cleaning or replacement of key components which no longer work.
It is important to differentiate repair from:
- Repurposing
- Refurbishing
- Remanufacturing
Steps
- What is the lifetime of our product?
- What part of our product will fail first? (Dis-assembly map / Critical components)
- Who will be in charge of the repair activities? (Reversed Logistics Mapping)
