Claim 9:
10. A method for determining platform configurations, the method comprising:
instantiating, on an information handling system, a hardware configuration generator to generate a plurality of platform configurations;
providing, by the hardware configuration generator, a ranked list of platform configurations;
receiving platform customer service request information;
providing a ranked list of part numbers associated with the platform configurations based upon the customer service request information; and
modifying the ranked list of platform configurations based upon the ranked list of part numbers;
wherein the ranked list of platforms is determined as a set of system total scores for each platform, the system total score for each platform being determined as:
Stot=(WNUDD*SNUDD)+(Wcomp*Scomp)+(Wcom*Scom)+(WAS*SAS)+(WCIP*SCIP), where Stot is a system total score, WNUDD is a New, Unique, Distinct, and Difficult (NUDD) element list weight, SNUDD is a NUDD score, Wcomp is a component weight, Scomp is a component score, Wcom is a commodities weight, Scom is a commodities score, WAS is an as-shipped weight, SAS is an as-shipped score, WCIP is an component issue priority weight, and SCIP is a component issue priority score.
