The Difference Between Reworking and Revisiting: Clear Explanation Needed.

Question:

I recently came across these terms on a forum and am seeking a clear explanation or difference between the two. While I understand the concept of reworking, I am unsure about the term "revisit". Can anyone provide some insight on this? - J.R.

I don't perceive it as being distinct, but I am curious to hear other people's perspectives.

John, in my opinion, revisiting is typically done for corrections, making it a form of rework. People often come up with different variations to enhance their key performance indicators (KPIs), and it seems like this is one of those instances.

How to effectively track and address rework within a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) like John Reeve?

Hey J.R., I'd be glad to shed some light on this. While both terms, "reworking" and "revisit" involve returning to a previous task, they indeed have unique intents. "Reworking" generally suggests making changes or improvements on a task that has already been completed once. It's a process of refinement. On the other hand, "revisit" means coming back to a task but not necessarily to make changes - it could be for a fresh look, review, or to proceed from where you left off. Think of "revisit" as opening up an old book to read a chapter again, while "reworking" is more like editing a draft of a manuscript you've written.
