The necessity for minimal redesign effort

I’m sure we’ve all had this experience. You’re working on a “quick” home repair, figure out what’s wrong, and run to the hardware store - only to discover the part you need isn’t available anymore. Now, instead of replacing a single, three dollars part in a faucet, you need to buy a new $50 faucet. Instead of a “quick” repair, you’re looking at several hours to have a working faucet.

How frustrating.

Now take that situation and instead of a $50 faucet, you’re working on a multi-million-dollar aircraft, ship, or tank. “Just get another one” isn’t an option. If the part you need isn’t available, you need to redesign the section and make do with the parts available – it’s better than buying a new one, but still takes a significant amount of time and money.
