Permissioning and dependency mapping in supply chain management

A method for permissioning part manufacturing, the method comprising:

• creating an initial production map for a primary part, process, or assembly, the initial production map comprising a graph database;
• associating a first user at a first user interface device with a first part manufacturing template stored in a second database, the part manufacturing template defining a first vendor for providing a first part associated with the first part manufacturing template;
• receiving an indication from the first user interface device to assign permissions associated with the first part manufacturing template to a second user at a second user interface device;
• providing the second user interface device with limited access to the first part manufacturing template in the second database, such that the second user can order instances of the first part from the first vendor;
• receiving, from the second user interface device, a first primary part request for the primary part, process, or assembly;
• generating a first primary part request for the primary part, process, or assembly and
• transmitting the first primary part request to at least one primary vendor company;
• receiving, from the at least one primary vendor company, a bid for the first primary part request, the bid specifying at least one dependency, the at least one dependency comprising at least one part not available from the at least one primary vendor company, the at least one part corresponding to the first part;
• incorporating the first part into the initial production map as the at least one dependency to create an updated production map comprising a modified graph database;
• assigning details for the at least one dependency based on the first part manufacturing template, wherein at least some details for the at least one dependency are not accessible by the second user at the second user interface device;
• generating an alert to the second user, wherein the modified graph database facilitates the alert to the second user based on a relationship in the updated production map not present in the second database.
