Requirements: Production by upgrading or retooling existing tools or equipment.
Interpretation: Upgrading means rebuilding and/or modifying a tool or machine or increasing capacity, performance, or changing existing functionality. Do not question the normal maintenance, repair or replacement of parts on a tool that does not change its performance. This demonstrates the establishment of a method that is predictable and verified for after-sales repair. Rearrangement defines the activity practice, which changes the product/process sequence number recorded in the process flow diagram (PFC). This includes newly added manufacturing processes. Minor adjustments to production equipment may be required to meet safety requirements, such as installing protective covers, eliminating risks to potential clients, etc.
