ABSTRACT:
This invention introduces systems and methods that control production process quality, wherein the production process has a plurality of durable items, each durable item is associated with a re-qualification process initiated as a function of a life expectancy associated therewith. The life expectancy associated with each durable item is reset upon completion of the associated re-qualification process. An exemplary method comprises (I) monitoring re-qualification indicia associated with each associated re-qualification process, and (ii) controlling availability of re-qualified durable items of the production process as a function of the re-qualification indicia to thereby control production process quality.
