Line 1: {{Unreferenced\|date=December 2009}} '''Repairable''' is a term used by the [[United States Armed Forces]] for certain types of material. Generally these items are expensive hardware components for military equipment. They are called repairable because when they break or wear out, the servicemember will turn this item in for repair at a maintenance facility where it will be fixed or reconditioned to be issued again. The service unit receives funding credit for turning in these items. A '''repairable component''' is a component of a [[finished good]] that can be designated for repair. A repairable item is defined is an item that can be repaired and reused such as an aircraft generator or radar receiver, as opposed to a consumable item which can be used only once such as a bolt or wire. In the Navy/Marine Corps supply system repairable items are identified with certain two character cognizance symbols (COG's)and one character Material Control Codes (MCC's)▼ ==Overview== In United States Marine Corps Aviation Repairables are managed by the [[Repairables Management Division]] of the Aviation Supply Department.▼ Repairable components tend to be more expensive than non-repairable components ([[consumable]]s). This is because for items that are inexpensive to [[procurement\|procure]], it is often more cost-effective not to maintain (repair) them. Repair costs can be expensive, including costs for the labor for the removal the broken or worn out part (described as unserviceable), cost of replacement with a working (serviceable) from inventory, and also the cost of the actual repair, including possible shipping costs to a repair vendor. At maintenance facilities, such as might be found at [[Main Operating Base]]s, inventory is controlled by site personnel. Maintenance personnel will formally "turn-in" unserviceable items for repair, receiving a funding credit in the process. These "turn-ins" will be fixed, reconditioned, or replaced. Maintenance personnel can also be issued repaired or new items back from inventory. These processes are assisted by automated [[logistics management]] systems. ▲A repairable item is defined is an item that can be repaired and reused such as an aircraft generator or radar receiver, as opposed to a consumable item which can be used only once such as a bolt or wire.
