Abstract
The present invention includes a method and system configured to analyze a plurality of parts, each of the parts having at least one part characteristic. The method includes the steps of establishing at least one repository of the part characteristics, establishing a relationship between at least a portion of the parts and a cost characteristic; and, analyzing the portion of the parts in response to the relationship.
Claims40
A computer based method of analyzing a plurality of parts, each of the parts having at least one part characteristic, comprising;
- establishing at least one dynamically accessible repository of said part characteristics using a computer processor;
- establishing a relationship between at least a portion of said parts and at least one of said part characteristics using said computer processor;
- and
- analyzing said portion of said parts in response to said relationship using said computer processor, wherein the step of establishing said relationship further comprises:
- establishing a part category;
- associating at least a portion of said parts with said part category based upon at least one of said characteristics of said part;
- and
- establishing said relationship between said associated parts and a cost characteristic.
A computer based method of analyzing a plurality of parts, each of the parts having at least one part characteristic, comprising;
- establishing at least one dynamically accessible repository of said part characteristics using a computer processor;
- establishing a relationship between at least a portion of said parts and at least one of said part characteristics using said computer processor;
- and
- analyzing said portion of said parts in response to said relationship using said computer processor, wherein the step of establishing said at least one part characteristic repository further comprises the step of receiving a first portion of said part characteristics from a first repository and a second portion of said part characteristics from a second repository.
A computer based method of analyzing a plurality of parts, each of the parts having at least one part characteristic, comprising;
- establishing at least one dynamically accessible repository of said part characteristics using a computer processor;
- establishing a relationship between at least a portion of said parts and at least one of said part characteristics using said computer processor;
- and
- analyzing said portion of said parts in response to said relationship using said computer processor, wherein said part characteristics are associated with at least one time period and further comprising establishing at least one economic characteristic associated with said time period and wherein said part characteristic associated with said relationship is a cost characteristic, and wherein the step of establishing said relationship includes the step of establishing said relationship between at least a portion of said part characteristics, said cost characteristic, and said economic characteristic.
A computer based method of analyzing a plurality of parts, each of the parts having at least one part characteristic, comprising;
- establishing at least one dynamically accessible repository of said part characteristics using a computer processor;
- establishing a relationship between at least a portion of said parts and at least one of said part characteristics using said computer processor;
- and
- analyzing said portion of said parts in response to said relationship using said computer processor, wherein said part characteristics are associated with at least one time period and further comprising establishing at least one economic characteristic associated with said time period and wherein said at least one economic characteristic includes at least one of a labor cost characteristic, an inflation characteristic, a national economic index characteristic, and an industry economic index characteristic.
A computer based method of analyzing a plurality of parts, each of the parts having at least one part characteristic, comprising;
- establishing at least one dynamically accessible repository of said part characteristics using a computer processor;
- establishing a relationship between at least a portion of said parts and at least one of said part characteristics using said computer processor;
- and
- analyzing said portion of said parts in response to said relationship using said computer processor, wherein the step of establishing said relationship further comprises the steps of:
- establishing a plurality of relationships between at least a portion of said parts and said cost characteristic;
- establishing an accuracy characteristic for each of said plurality of relationships;
- and
- establishing said relationship in response to said accuracy characteristics.
