Abstract
A method and system for applying run rules on an individual part number basis in order to detect out-of-control events for a distinct sub-population within a general technology population. The invention thus provides for line tailoring by part number by acquiring measurement data of the part number from a manufacturing line for a measured parameter; retrieving a specification for the part number from a database; executing custom run rules by part number against the measured data using the specifications; and rejecting requests to process the part number if a run rule violation exists.
