Product reliability tracking and notification system and method

摘要

Methods and apparatus are provided for tracking product reliability. A product removal database (106) having removal data stored therein that are associated with one or more products is periodically accessed at a user-specified periodicity. An aircraft flight-hours database (108) having time-in-flight data stored therein that are associated with each product is periodically accessed at the user-specified periodicity. One or more user-selected algorithms are executed, using at least a portion of the periodically accessed removal data, to determine if the criterion for a user-specified reliability parameter is met or not. If it is determined that the criterion for the user-selected reliability parameter is not met, then an alert is transmitted to a preset destination.
