  • identifying each distinct part number represented in a rework repository;

    performing a validation for each part, from a plurality of parts, having a part number that matches any of the identified part numbers, further comprising;

    causing the part to fail the validation if a version number of the part does not match any of at least one predetermined acceptable version number for the part number; and

    causing the part to fail the validation if failure conditions specified for the matching identified part number in the rework repository match conditions corresponding to the part; and

    for each part that fails the validation, programmatically consulting the rework repository to determine any rework actions specified therein for addressing the validation failure and initiating at least one specified rework action to address the validation failure.
