Repairability becomes measurable in a purchasing decision: which part can be replaced, who services it and what evidence supports return to use? Ask these questions in writing during procurement.
Request service details
Obtain part numbers and care instructions for replaceable castors, seals, latches, lids or other components. State supply terms and service provider separately in the offer.
Compare with your fault records
Gather fault types, repair times, spare-part waits and days equipment was out of service for your current fleet. Assess what the proposed design would change in that workflow.
Separate cost assumptions
Compare purchase price, possible part replacement, labor, service and warranty terms on separate lines. Confirm warranty scope, exclusions and duration in the contract.
