Exchange unit & rotable pool
An exchange supplies a serviceable unit immediately in return for the customer's removed unit, typically with a fee reflecting the work required.
Rotable pools make exchanges possible: a stock of serviceable units held so the customer is not waiting for their own to be repaired.
Pricing an exchange means predicting the condition of the incoming core, its repair cost and the time it will spend in the shop before it re-enters the pool.
Exchanges convert an urgent, low-availability situation into a same-day answer, which is why they are central to AOG service and to recurring revenue.
