Reman Program & Undercarriage with Andre Bertrand & James Hannah 

We’ve brought together a couple of the leading expert in the field of service operations. Andre Bertrand, Business Line Manager for Parts & Service in Canada, and James Hannah, Global Product Manager Drilling Solutions. They share insights on the new programs and services, which include the Reman Program for surface and underground remanufactured components and the new technology that increase efficiency in the drilling rig undercarriage.

An alternative to new components, local service exchange programs, and repair and return service, the Reman Program is an exchange-related sales transaction whereby the customer is required to return a used core to the Customer Center in exchange for a remanufactured component.

The Reman Program can play a key role in making machine lifecycle costs competitive. The program offers customers a lower cost option to purchasing new components, while maintaining the highest availability and reliability.
