Abstract
This paper presents the effort known as “Project Track Right”, in which Mason and Hanger Corporation at the Pantex Plant and Sandia National Laboratories have teamed up to develop a system to significantly enhance the material tracking process at Pantex. Current material tracking systems at the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, Texas are man-power intensive and require multiple data entries to report a single transaction. Although the procedures are in compliance, they can be greatly improved through the use of the latest enabling technologies.
