The official definition of Remanufacturing is “the rebuilding of a product to specification of the original manufactured product using a combination of reused and repaired and new parts.” Parts subject to degradation affecting the performance or the expected life of the whole are replaced.  Remanufactured machines should match the same customer expectation as new machines. The critical difference to Refurbishing is, that a remanufactured product will have various components replaced on it, all to the new specification, while refurbished/repaired products only have the failed components replaced.
