Abstract

A method and apparatus for managing parts. A number of identifiers is received for an unidentified part. A determination is made as to whether the number of identifiers sufficiently matches a number of corresponding identifiers in a plurality of identifiers in a code stored in a database of codes associated with parts. The code is associated with the part. In response to the number of identifiers matching the number of corresponding identifiers in the plurality of identifiers in the code, a repository storing related information for the parts is accessed to obtain the related information for the part using a code identified for the part.
