What is Rework?

Rework in production is the process of repairing things that are defective, failed, or non-conforming during or after inspection. Disassembly, repair, replacement, reassembly, and other tasks are included in this procedure.

Companies can reduce scrap and rework by:

• Documenting product data through a bill of materials (BOM)
• Consistently reviewing manufacturing processes
• Communicating product changes to all key stakeholders (i.e., internal product teams and external supply chain partners)

Rework results in lost time, increased waste, and unexpected expenditures. Finding strategies to eliminate production rework saves money, allows you to use your time more productively, and results in higher-quality products.
