Abstract
An exemplary method for qualifying a gas turbine engine component includes creating a first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components via a uniform manufacturing procedure, determining a set of as-manufactured parameters of each gas turbine engine component in the first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, determining a variance model of the first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, and determining a plurality of predicted response models based at least in part on the variance model, each of the predicted response models corresponding to one of an engine type and an engine assembly, and each of the predicted response models being configured to determine a predicted response of including a gas turbine engine component from the first set of substantially identical gas turbine engine components in the corresponding one of the engine type and the engine assembly. The system then identifies as-manufactured parameters of a second engine component, and applies the as-manufactured parameters of the second engine component to each of the predicted response models, thereby generating a predicted response output from each of the predicted response models. An optimum predicted response from each of the generated predicted response models is identified and the engine type or engine assembly that corresponds with the optimum predicted response is associated with a unique part identifier of the second engine component.
