Re: What's the practical difference between rework and repair?
Thanks. I see your point and the picture. I think the key word here is 'Customer Approval' or consent.
Not neccessarily - and as Dominiques stated - repair usually requires customer approval.
Here is an example
You have a part that requires a .250" +-.005" diameter hole.
1) the hole measures .125". You rework the part by drilling the hole to .250". This is rework.
2) the hole measures .270". You fille the hole, and redrill to .250". This is repair.
