First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for supply chain data analysis, the method comprising:
- storing supply chain data including test data, genealogy data including a component'"'"'s parent and its supplier and a component'"'"'s child and its supplier, repair data, a plurality of factors and a plurality of items, in one or more databases;
aggregating the stored supply chain data in a plurality of combinations including one or more items and one or more factors, by one or more computers;
selecting a portion of the plurality of factors from the stored data, and a time range for analysis;
selecting one or more criteria for analysis;
extracting a portion of the plurality of combinations according to selected one or more criteria, by the one or more computers;
analyzing said extracted portion of the plurality of combinations, by the one or more computers to detect a combination of factors and items that results in a test failure, according to said selected factors, said time range, and said extracted portion of the plurality of combinations;
detecting a root cause for said detected combination of factors and items, by the one or more computers;
performing correlation analysis between said extracted combinations, by the one or more computers;
performing trend analysis on said extracted combinations; and
making recommendation for promising combinations and range of test parameters to maximize a yield for the selected factors, by the one or more computers.

Abstract
A method and system for supply chain data analysis. The method includes storing supply chain data including test data, genealogy data, repair data, some factors and some items, in one or more databases and selecting a portion of the factors from the stored data, and a time range for analysis. The method then selects one or more criterion for analysis; extracts a portion of the stored data; analyzes the extracted portion of the stored data to detect a combination of factors that result in a test failure, according to the selected factors, the time range, and the selected one or more criterion. The method then detects a root cause for the detected combination of factors; performs correlation analysis between the selected factors; and performs trend analysis on the selected factors.
