A rotable component is typically a spare or serviceable part that can be repeatedly repaired or restored to a condition where it can be used again. Examples of these are engines, gearboxes etc.

Typical stages of the lifecycle:
- Installation - Component is installed into the system it will be utilized in
- Operational lifecyle - Component operates within the system undergoing regular wear and tear
- Removal - Predetermined interval, issue detected or failure
- Inspection - Removed component undergoes inspection to assess it's condition
- Repair - Based on the inspection assessment the component under goes an overhaul to return it to a serviceable condition
- QA Inspection - Repaired component may undergo testing and certification to ensure its fit for purpose and can be returned to service
- Return to inventory - Component is returned to back to inventory from the repair work shop
- Reinstallation - Component will be installed when required back to its operational role
This lifecycle management approach helps to ensure reliability, safety and cost effectiveness of equipment by maximizing the use of components while maintaining high standards of maintenance and quality control.
