Abstract
A method in a data processing system of tracking tools in a power plant service environment is disclosed where a plurality of power plant facilities (14) are interconnected in a Web-based environment (22) over a communications medium (10) with a tool depot 16 and wherein the tool depot (16) houses a tool inventory (17) used for providing a plurality of service activities to the plurality of power plant facilities (14). The method may include providing (30) a database (20) containing information associated with respective tools in the tool inventory (17) and including in the database (20) information uniquely associated with at least a first tool in the tool inventory (17). The first tool may be assigned (42) to a person at a power plant facility (14) and data may be recorded at the power plant facility that associates the person with the first tool. The method may also include providing (30) a database (20) containing information describing the inventory of tools and providing access to the database to respective end users at each of the multiple power plants via a communications medium. An order for a set of tools may be communicated over the communications medium (36) to a tool depot (16) and a shipping document may then be populated (40) with information relating to shipping the set of tools from the tool depot (16) to a power plant (14). One aspect allows for accessing the database (20) from the power plant (14) so that an end user at the power plant may search the database via in interactive Web page for selecting at least one tool (36) for inclusion in the set of tools. The at least one tool may be selected from the Web page to create the tool order.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
