  • System providing receipt inspection reporting
    Patent number: 7395273
    Abstract: A system for providing receipt inspection reporting (RIR) allows for entry, modification, searching and reporting of RIR data. The RIR data is stored in a database and accessible online to facilitate tracking and analysis of defects and other problems. Searches and custom reports also may be generated to provide RIR tracking and analysis of problems. Logging and tracking of defects allows for root cause analysis using RIR data stored in a database to improve the RIR resolution process.

  • System for managing multiple projects of similar type using dynamically updated global database
    Patent number: 5826252
    Abstract: A system for managing multiple projects of a similar type has a global project management database for storing data for all participating projects which is dynamically updated with best current data representing best current practices across all participating projects in the system. Localized computer terminals are operated at each local site with a common project management program and data imported from the global project management database. Periodically, the local terminals export data to the global project management database which are evaluated to determine any new best current practices across all participating projects and to update the global project management database with the new best current practices. Upon periodically importing data from the global project management database, each localized computer terminal is updated with the new best current practices across all participating projects.
