Abstract
A material management system and method (10) includes a data storage device (20) containing order information (24) for a product, product information (26) for a product, work center information (28) for fabricating the product, and inventory information (30) for fabricating the product. The system (10) also includes a processor (12) coupled to the data storage device (20). The system (10) further includes a nesting application (22) operable for execution by the processor (12). The nesting application (22) is operable to determine a fabrication nest for the product using the order information (24), the product information (26), the work center information (28), or the inventory information (30).
