  • System and method for providing automatic qualification intervention in a manufacturing process
    Patent number: 7826915
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for providing automatic qualification intervention in a manufacturing process that is performed by a plurality of components. At least one qualification process is associated with each of the components. The qualification processes are stored in a component/qualification matrix in a computerized database management system. The automatic qualification intervention system requires that all qualification processes for a component must be performed in conformity with the qualification processes for the component that have been stored in the component/qualification matrix. The automatic qualification intervention system significantly reduces the delays that are inherent in prior art methods.
