1. A system for managing and tracking technical events associated with production of aircraft and aircraft-related components, the system comprising:
- a database configured to store quality assurance information about said technical events associated with said production of aircraft and aircraft-related components;
an end-user connected to said database via a network;
a server connected to said network, said server being configured to manage said quality assurance information about said technical events between said database and said end-user; and
a web-based graphical user interface configured to display, at said end-user, said quality assurance information, and to arrange and display said technical events in order of importance based upon a critical number which is associated with said technical events, a number value of said critical number is indicative of the relative importance of the technical event, said server is configured to determine said number value of said critical number based on frequency of said technical event, severity of said technical event, and detectability of said technical event, and after one technical event is cured, said server changes said critical number associated with said one technical event, and said web-based graphical user interface displays an updated critical number,wherein said quality assurance information includes a case number, said critical number, and status information about one of said technical events associated with the production of the aircraft and the aircraft related components.

5. A method of managing and tracking technical events during production of aircraft and aircraft-related components via a web-based system including a processor, the method comprising:
-
receiving information about said technical events from an end-user; transmitting said information about said technical events to a database; receiving a request from another end-user; retrieving said information about said technical events from said database; providing quality assurance information about said technical events to said another end-user via a network; arranging and displaying said technical events in order of importance based upon a critical number which is associated with said technical events, a number value of said critical number is indicative of the relative importance of the technical event, and said number value of said critical number is determined based on frequency of said technical events, severity of said technical event, and detectability of said technical event; changing said critical number of one technical event after said one technical event is cured; and displaying by said web-based graphical user interface an updated critical number, wherein said quality assurance information includes a case number, said critical number, and status information about one of said technical events associated with the production of the aircraft and the aircraft related components. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded by instructions which when executed by a computer cause a processor to execute a method for managing and tracking technical events during the production of aircraft and aircraft related components, the method comprising:
-
receiving information about said technical events from an end-user; transmitting said information about said technical events to a database; receiving a request from another end-user; retrieving said information about said technical events from said database; providing quality assurance information about said technical events from said database to said another end-user via a network; arranging and displaying said technical events in order of importance based upon a critical number which is associated with said technical events, a number value of said critical number is indicative of the relative importance of the technical event, and said number value of said critical number determined based on frequency of said technical events, severity of said technical event, and detectability of said technical event; changing said critical number of one technical event after said one technical event is cured; and displaying by said web-based graphical user interface an updated critical number, wherein said quality assurance information includes a case number, said critical number, and status information about one of said technical events associated with the production of the aircraft and the aircraft related components. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
