Using system errors and manufacturer defects in system components causing the system errors to determine a quality assessment value for the components

A system for providing health status of components in a system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein that is executable to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• receiving a system error message including a system error code for a system error and a number of instances of the system error;
• processing the system error code and the number of instances of the system error to determine a system error weight indicating a likelihood a system error will result in inoperability of at least one component deployed in the system, wherein the system error weight indicates one of a plurality of values, wherein a higher system error weight indicates a higher likelihood the system error will result in loss of operability and a lower system error weight indicates a lower likelihood the system error will result in loss of operability, and wherein the at least one component comprises at least one of computer hardware and a software component executed in the system;
• determining at least one manufacturing defect weight for the at least one component whose operation results in the system error, wherein the at least one manufacturing defect weight is updated from a manufacturer of the at least one component, and wherein the at least one manufacturing defect weight indicates a likelihood at least one manufacturing defect will result in inoperability of the at least one component;
• processing the system error weight and the determined at least one manufacturing defect weight for the at least one component to determine a quality assessment value for the at least one component, wherein the quality assessment value indicates a likelihood of failure or continued degradation in performance of the at least one component;
• determining whether a comparison of the quality assessment value and a threshold value indicates a negative assessment of the at least one component;
• and
• transmitting a message directed to an administrator of the system indicating the negative assessment of the component in response to determining that the quality assessment value and the threshold value indicate the negative assessment.
