Process evaluation distributed system

A distributed system for observing rocket engine processing, comprising:

• a) a database server;
• b) an administration module in communication with said database server for providing observation criteria information to said database server;
• c) a process evaluation module in communication with said database server for obtaining said observation criteria information from said database server and collecting process data based on said observation criteria information, said observation criteria information comprising checklists for assuring proper safety and procedural compliance with rocket engine processing regulations, said process data comprising information regarding the acceptability of said checklists, said process evaluation module utilizing a personal digital assistant (PDA);
• and,
• d) a data display module in communication with said database server, including a website for viewing collected process data in a desired metrics form, said data display module also for providing desired editing and modification of said collected process data,
• wherein the connectivity established by said database server to said administration module, said process evaluation module, and said data display module, minimizes the requirement for manual input of said collected process data.
