Question

example of "abnormal" rework? Be specific

Answer 1

Rework : As the name suggests RE + Work = repeating the work

Abnormal rework means the situation where we have to repeat the entire process due to the circumstances that are not normal . for example repeating the process of painting an iron rod is normal rework if standard requires double coating.Similarly : inspection used to be done as a part of process after completion of work is an example of normal rework.

Now , lets say there is a fire in the warehouse and goods tends to be burnt .Now to check the position of goods saved inspection of goods is done again to ascertain whether they match the standards or not is an example of abnormal rework . Because this inspection was not the part of the process but is the requirement of the situation .

2nd example : In a chair manufacturing company , process is to first make a chair ,then sharpen its edges and then painting and then inspection is done . paint to done is 21st shade of red ( hypothetical) but operator who has to choose the color made a mistake n choose 20th shade of red . Now customer rejected to accept the chairs because this is not of the color they demanded.

Now company have to paint it again with 21st shade of red . This is an abnormal rework because it was not a part of usual process of company ad cause cost addition to company.
