  • Using system errors and manufacturer defects in system components causing the system errors to determine a quality assessment value for the components
    Patent number: 11455223
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using system errors and manufacturer defects in system components causing the system errors to determine a quality assessment value for the components. A system error message indicates at least one at least one system error resulting from an operation of at least one component deployed in the system. A manufacturing defect for the at least one component whose operation results in the at least one system error is determined from information from a manufacturer of the component. A quality assessment value is determined from the system error and manufacturing defect, for each of the at least one component for which there is a manufacturing defect. A message is transmitted to an administrator of the system indicating a negative assessment of the component in response to a comparison of the quality assessment value and a threshold value indicate a negative assessment.
