Systems and methods for multi-component kit inventory management

A machine-implemented method for inventorying multi-component kits, comprising:

• determining, by circuitry, a weight of a kit prior to shipping the kit to a user, wherein the kit includes a plurality of individual pieces configured to be removably coupled to each other;
• determining, by the circuitry, that the kit has been received subsequent to the kit being shipped to a user;
• and
• in response to determining that the kit has been received after being shipped to the user:
• determining, by the circuitry, a weight of the kit as received from the user;
• determining, by the circuitry, a weight difference between the weight of the kit prior to shipping to the user and the weight of the kit as received from the user;
• determining, by the circuitry, a unit compliance threshold, wherein the unit compliance threshold defines a minimum value for the weight difference that is needed to initiate a remedial action;
• determining, by the circuitry, whether the kit as received exceeds the unit compliance threshold based at least in part on a comparison of the weight difference and the unit compliance threshold;
• and
• in response to determining the kit as received exceeds the unit compliance threshold, initiating a remedial action by the circuitry, wherein the remedial action includes notifying the user that the kit as received exceeded the unit compliance threshold.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and computer program instructions stored therein, the computer program instructions comprising program instructions for:

• determining, by circuitry, a weight of a kit prior to shipping the kit to a user, wherein the kit includes a plurality of individual pieces configured to be removably coupled to each other;
• determining, by the circuitry, that the kit has been received subsequent to the kit being shipped to a user;
• and
• in responsive to determining that the kit has been received after being shipped to the user:
• determining, by the circuitry, a weight of the kit as received from the user;
• determining, by the circuitry, a weight difference between the weight of the kit prior to shipping to the user and the weight of the kit as received from the user;
• determining, by the circuitry, a unit compliance threshold, wherein the unit compliance threshold defines a minimum value for the weight difference that is needed to initiate a remedial action;
• determining, by the circuitry, whether the kit as received exceeds the unit compliance threshold based at least in part on a comparison of the weight difference and the unit compliance threshold;
• and
• in response to determining the kit as received exceeds the unit compliance threshold, initiating a remedial action by the circuitry, wherein the remedial action includes notifying the user that the kit as received exceeded the unit compliance threshold.
