  • Publication number: 20100076806
    Abstract: A computer system for an inventory management tool using a criticality measure is disclosed. The computer system has a memory, at least one input device, and a central processing unit in communication with the memory and the at least one input device. The central processing unit calculates an amount of existing inventory for one or more parts used to produce a product and determines a lead time to receive the one or more parts. The central processing unit also determines a build time to produce the parts into the product and receives a criticality measure for the product, the criticality measure indicating an order time for delivering the product. Further, the central processing unit adjusts a supply chain process for the parts based on the lead time, the build time, and the criticality measure.

  • Publication number: 20080184131
    Abstract: A computer system for a asset criticality system is provided. The computer system has a platform, at least one input device, and a central processing unit in communication with the platform and the at least one input device. The central processing unit is configured to receive project information from a user, asset population information about a project, and determine a plurality of available assets according to the received information. The central processing unit is also configured to generate asset information for the user based on the determined plurality of available assets and to provide at least one customized background display based on the received project and asset population information, and generated asset information. The central processing unit is further configured to enable the user to populate a customized background display by selectively adding individual assets and to individually rate the populated assets according to their criticality.
