The proposed solution would provide the United States Air Force (USAF) a thin client application for proactively identifying problem parts. Our solution is dependant on a digital Bill of Materials (BOM) which we also provide a tool for importing and loading the cleansed parts structure from the data cleansing teams. Our solution was able to predict part failure rates at 70% during testing scenarios; we believe with additional funding this number will greatly increase.

Benefit:
The proposed solution would provide the United States Air Force a thin client solution for loading cleansed part data into a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) application, examine every part for historical and probable failures, then exporting this data for review. The client connects and can be integrated with all enteprise PLM applications and Microsoft SharePoint.
