A computerized manufacturing process and inventory auditing and querying system for a manufacturing operation which utilizes a computerized manufacturing process control program which processes customer orders, generates external purchase orders and internal work orders, manages inventory, and generates an anticipated ship date for the completion of the customer order, and which adjusts the anticipated ship date in consideration of work in process information which is entered into the system during the manufacturing process, comprises a user interface which receives a user query. This user interface ensures the integrity of this user query, and generates an audit request in response. The system also includes audit request processing modules which are responsive to audit request to calculate a confidence factor, a full lead time available-to-promise date, and the total quantity of manufactured parts which are available-to-assemble from current inventory. The confidence factor represents a probability of completing a customer order by the anticipated ship date generated by the computerized manufacturing process control program. The system allows for remote access and is continuously updated during the manufacturing process. Detail information regarding the calculation of the factor are also available. |
