Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product for implementing part performance management services is provided. The method includes gathering service data for products. The serviced components of the products are identified in the service data by replacement component part numbers. The method also includes mapping the service data to manufacturing data for products of manufacture by matching at least one data element common to both of the service data and the manufacturing data. The components of the products of manufacture are identified in the manufacturing data by production part numbers. The method further includes identifying which of the products of manufacture have been serviced based upon results of the mapping.
