Hi, we are a 145 repair station & currently looking into doing more parts rework/repair schemes in order to cut costs for ourselves & customers. I am with QA & wish to formulate an SOP to address quality control of rework/repairs.

Does anyone have SOPs governing control of rework/repair, selection of rework sub-contractors, DER, cannabalization, quality control & inspection, certification etc, to share? Any pointers are welcome. Thanks.

Repair and rework are the failures cost and we shall eliminate it.

It is good that you can explore yourself to look into how you can help prevent the failures.:biglaugh:

eh... in an aviation MRO context, rework enable us to make good certain defective parts & transfer some cost-savings back to our customers... :bigwave:

I fly weekly on business trips and this statements of yours gave me a scare :mg:

Hope cost saving is not at the cost of life saving :notme:

You guys misunderstand. Their business IS repairing airplane parts. These Part 145 Repair Stations are certificated by the FAA.

See here: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=493d4873ede70e24a93541db077f14a8&rgn=div5&view=text&node=14:3.0.1.1.5&idno=14

Ah yes, rework/repair is governed by FAA regulations, availability of OEM procedures, customer approval, blah blah blah...

So no worries about flying, its safe! & getting safer to fly…

I am juz here to seek some sharing to further tighten our process (my conviction is quality always first before profit… :cool: )

But I think I’ll wish everybody a MERRY XMAS instead !

Cheers! :drunk:

Thanks for the clarification, Cari and Corollax.
