What is an Alternative Part?
Alternative Part Definition
An alternative part is a replacement or substitute for a specific part or piece of machinery. Alternative parts are typically used when the original part is unavailable or has been discontinued. They can also offer better functionality at a lower price. Alternative parts may serve as a temporary fix while waiting for the original part to arrive or as a long-term fix.
Alternative parts are used in the context of production or maintenance to keep machinery operating in the event of a failure or breakdown. They help to modernize or enhance the functionality of equipment and make it more compatible with other parts or systems.
