Williams faced a spate of production delays over the past winter, which led to it gambling on prioritising other items over producing a spare car in time for the start of the season.
That decision came back to haunt the squad in Australia, with Albon damaging his chassis in a practice crash.
Albon was then handed team-mate Logan Sargeant's car, with the American having to sit out the rest of the race weekend as Williams was forced to withdraw his entry.
In his post-race debrief, Vowles detailed the process of having Albon's damaged chassis repaired in time to be shipped out to Suzuka, which will host the fourth round of the season next week.
"I'm confident we'll be able to fix the chassis," he explained. "We put measures in place to make sure the chassis was back here [in the Grove factory] very early on Monday morning, I think it arrived around 2am. There were already crews inside the building, working on that, stripping it down and doing repairs.
"We're in a good place for having the chassis back early enough for Suzuka. Actually back in Melbourne, there were photographs and techniques called NDT, which is non-destructive testing. It allows us to fully understand how big the damage is, and what we have to do.
"And that preparation was key. What it meant was already at 2am on Monday, work could start. So, in Suzuka we'll have two cars without too many issues."
