Difference between "fabricate" and "made"
Difference between "fabricate" and "made"
(OP)
Hi Everybody! Could you please clarify my one question? Is any difference between two words: fabricate and made. For example, in SRM, we often find "make the repair parts" and "fabricate repair parts" – is it the same meaning or not?
Now we have a dispute: one point of view that "fabricate" means higher requirements to manufacturing of the repair part than "make". I'm not sure that's truth.
What do you mind about it?
Thank you.

It's like the difference between a complex cast or machined component and one which has been welded together from simpler plates.

My wife, as part of her APNP Masters in Nursing, was required to write "instructions" to people who may be at risk for Diabetes. One requirement for the paper was a minimum of multi syllable words.

The Boeing SRMs are written in "simplified English" since they are used worldwide. The word "make" is generally used. If "fabricate" is used in a Boeing SRM, it is probably a mistake that slipped thru the editting process.
I'm not familiar with other companies SRMs, so can't comment if you are referring to a non-Boeing SRM.

I see lots of drawings with extraneous terminology. "drill" "rout" "... and discard" - who cares? Specify your requirements and let them get there however they need to. If we can't train our technicians well enough to determine how to make or fabricate parts, then at least we ought to write standard process specifications which remove all doubt.
