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.

A manufacturing materiel management system. The system comprises a manufacturing assembly line to manufacture an object comprising a plurality of parts. The system also comprises a computer to monitor an input device for input that indicates a disruption event defined as an event in which manufacture of the object is disrupted as a result of loss of a resource or the part, or a shortage of human resources. Responsive to receiving the input, the computer system calculates another project which may continue, calculates remaining resources which may be allocated to the other projects, and generate a resource re-allocation plan which defines how remaining resources are to be re-allocated to the other project. A communication system in communication with the computer is configured to communicate the re-allocation plan to a manager of the manufacturing assembly line.

A manufacturing process management (MPM) computer device is provided. The MPM computer device is configured to store a first version of a product and a second version of the product. The second version includes the first plurality of parts, the second plurality of parts, and a third plurality of parts associated with the plug. The first location is between the first plurality of locations and the second plurality of locations. The MPM computer device is also configured to calculate a first numbering system, calculate a second numbering system for a third plurality of locations associated with the third plurality of parts, determine a first grid overlay for the first version of the product based on the first numbering system, determine a second grid overlay for the second version of the product based on the first numbering system and the second numbering system.
