I want to start a business and, to be honest, I have not worked in manufacturing for awhile.
But, I have always been VERY skilled with maintaining, repairing and overhauling machinery of nearly all kinds. In fact, I've successfully run my own small engine equipment & repair business in the past. Plus, I have successfully restored machines to reliable, heavy-duty service, ranging from household appliances to tractors.
AND, I want to help manufacturers here in America operate more efficiently
The business idea I'm toying with is a very vague hypothetical one, and I'm wondering if you could help me flesh it out?
My idea is to clean and rebuild industrial machinery assemblies or components that:
(1. Wear out quickly, and so they are...
(2. Frequently replaced with new ones, but could be replaced with rebuilt/reconditioned ones, if only...
(3. There was somebody to supply them (me!), as long as they...
(4. Can be shipped via UPS/weigh less than 100lb, and...
(5. Are more cheaply rebuilt outside outside the factory or shop than they could be in-house.
I'd appreciate any brainstorming or advice you'd like to offer here!
So, what do you think?
Is this an impossible pipe dream, or the beginning of a remanufacturing business idea?
