Abstract:
A manufacturing materiel management system. The system includes a product inventory monitor including at least one processor having a memory and a communications link, and at least one of a minimum-maximum item matrix and an item supplier dependency matrix. The system includes a manufacturing line item sensor network coupled to the product inventory monitor and configured to monitor in real-time inventory levels of a plurality of components, sub-assemblies, and assemblies in the product inventory used for a manufacturing line for manufacturing an object. The system includes a disruption pattern detector in communication with the manufacturing line item sensor network, and configured to detect normal and abnormal inventory turns, and to generate therefrom normal and disruption patterns. The system includes a resource allocator configured to monitor the normal and disruption patterns and to allocate resources to different projects when a disrupted pattern occurs.
