Abstract

The present invention includes a method and system of identifying parts prone to problems. The method includes the steps of establishing a problem threshold, establishing a part type with a problem, determining a problem level with the part type in response to the part type problem level, comparing the problem level with said problem threshold, establishing a production life of the part type, determining if the part type is within a threshold of the production life, identifying the part type as the problem prone part in response to the comparison and the production life determination.
