Manufacturing Materiel Supply Chain Disruption Management System

A method of manufacturing, comprising:

• operating a manufacturing assembly line, including using equipment to manufacture an object comprising a plurality of parts, including a part;
• using one or more processors to perform the steps of:
• monitoring an input device in communication with the one or more processors for input that indicates a disruption event defined as an event in which manufacture of the object is disrupted as a result of loss of a resource or the part;
• responsive to receiving the input, calculating another project which may continue;
• responsive to receiving the input, calculating remaining resources which may be allocated to the other project;
• generating a resource re-allocation plan which defines how remaining resources are to be re-allocated to the other project;
• and
• communicating, using a communication system connected to the one or more processors, the re-allocation plan to a manager of the manufacturing assembly line.

A computer program product for manufacturing materiel management, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-volatile computer readable storage medium having program instructions stored thereon to perform the steps of:
• monitoring an input device for input that indicates a disruption event defined as an event in which manufacture of an object by an assembly line is disrupted as a result of loss of a resource or a part comprising the object;
• responsive to receiving the input, calculating another project which may continue;
• responsive to receiving the input, calculating remaining resources which may be allocated to the other project;
• generating a resource re-allocation plan which defines how remaining resources are to be re-allocated to the other project;
• and
• communicating the re-allocation plan to a manager of the manufacturing assembly line.
