ABSTRACT:
A method provides a self-learning mechanism for developing a database of information to be used in guiding selection of parts for temporary removal from a product, in order to reduce product dimensions for shipping and delivery or the like. In one embodiment a product is of a specified type, such as a specified computer product, and comprises a configuration of parts. A procedure is first carried out to select parts for removal from the product, in order to reduce one or more dimensions by pre-specified corresponding amounts. The selected parts are removed, and also listed in a Reduction History Record constructed to indicate the parts removed from successive orders of the specified product type. A work reduction unit is created that comprises the selected parts, and a routing is generated for the work unit, for use in guiding delivery and re-installation of the selected parts back into the product.
