Abstract:
A method and system for real-time monitoring of part availability uses a computer-based data integration system communicating with at least one plant related database and at least one supplier related database to collect part usage and shipment data and to assess the collected data to predict an exception to a scheduled part need time. When an exception is predicted, the data integration system generates an alert indication to personnel for taking corrective action.
