Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for facilitating part qualification functions in a communication network environment. The method comprises creating a commodity template for a commodity associated with a supplier part. Creating a commodity template further comprises entering requirement data for qualifying the commodity and selecting at least one database in a part qualification repository for storing the requirements data. The part qualification repository comprises a parts database, a technology survey database, a quality information network database, and archives database, and a system testing database. The method further comprises assigning a default viewing tool for qualifying the commodity based upon the database selected and establishing access restriction operable for restricting and authorizing viewing and editing capabilities associated with the commodity template.

Abstract: Methods for monitoring user specific information on websites by searching websites and displaying the results based at least partially on geographical region are disclosed. Embodiments may include receiving a search request including one or more keywords and searching a database based on the received search request to generate search results, where the search results include an indication of one or more websites each with an associated geographical region. Embodiments may also include generating a geographical user interface page based on the search results, where the page includes an indication of the one or more opinion websites superimposed on a map based on their associated geographical region. Embodiments may further include transmitting the generated geographical user interface page. Further embodiments may include generating geography-based directed advertising based on the search results or receiving and storing a rating for a website from a user.

Abstract: A system for facilitating supplier qualification and quality management functions includes an application executing on a host system and a web-based user interface provided by the application, the web-based user interface collaboratively enabling qualification of suppliers, parts, and technologies over a network. The system also includes a shared data repository and a workstation in communication with the host system, and a supplier in communication with the host system via the user interface and network. The collaborative qualification includes acquiring supplier capabilities, part data, and supplier technology data from a collaborative source via the user interface. The collaborative qualification also includes storing acquired data in the shared data repository, and performing quality management functions via the user interface and shared data repository.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to an integrated computer-based method and system for facilitating supplier qualification and quality management. This computer-based method and system includes a host system receiving a request from a user system to execute supplier qualification and quality management software, executing the requested software at the host system, sending results of the software execution to the user system, receiving input at the host system from the user system in response to the software execution, and providing the user system with output generated as a result of executing the software. The supplier qualification and quality management software includes a selection module, a qualification module and a quality module.

Abstract: This is a system and method for management system. The system and method includes a raw pull indicator database which receives inputs comprising data from participant nodes. A system comprises execution logic which operates on the data from the raw pull indicator. A disposition system feedbacks reliability data of the participants based on the data operated on by the system.
