OK, I like the idea that a jumper wire is a repair becase it works but doesn't meet the original specs. But suppose you could somehow fix the board so that is did meet the original specs - what would you call this? :confused:
Using the definitions from the MIL standard, fixing the board so that it meets specs would be considered "rework."

If you fix a car with original parts so that it is as good as new, is that a repair or not?
Remember, we're talking about a single definition that certain customers might use, and according to that definition, it would be "rework".

If you use substandard parts, but the car still works, is that a repair? :confused:
It would be considered "repair" if the customer agreed to the use of "substandard" parts.

As I said in an earlier post, you have to be in agreement with the customer when terms are used that don't have universally agreed-upon definitions. And even when there are such definitions, the nature of the customer-supplier relationship is such that in the end, the customer's definition will always trump everything else.

Tim: is this not called wishful thinking??

Seriously though, I think many small companies use the terms rework and repair synonymously. I will follow this thread with some interest. Keep it going!

All Acronyms and Definitions have to be taken in context

My hope is this forum of definitions and acronyms will differ from the 'usual'. The wiki idea is nice, but I think this format allows for 'different' uses in different contexts to be discussed.

When I got into 'business' (my degree was in biology with minors in chemistry and anthropology) the first thing I found was that, like I saw in school courses, and, really, life in general, local terminology is important as are the specific circumstances of the company. Learning the 'lingo' was important from the beginning.

Good point, qualitygoddess - I hope these threads help people to understand terminology (ie: acronyms, definitions, etc.) within the context of different businesses / processes, etc.
