A computer based method for handling re-work shop orders by item analysis

摘要

A computer based method facilitates the capability for shop re-work orders to be effectively scheduled, knowing the time and location of item availability that is needed to correct the problem found in the re-work shop orders. The system automatically identifies alternate components or items that can be used in the shop orders and provides realistic shipping dates so that the re-work shop orders can be scheduled. If components or items are not avail­able, the system provides feedback to the material plan­ning system to re-plan items using traditional material planning systems such as the MRP (material requirement planning) systems and provide projected shipping dates so that re-work orders can be scheduled.
