Zusammenfassung:Computerized method and system for graphically identifying replacement parts for selected equipment and a selected system thereof is provided. The method allows to provide a database (e.g., 300) comprising detailed parts data abou t the replacement parts for each assembly of the selected equipment, with the detailed data identifying each part in a selected assembly by providing a series of linked schematic representations of the selected assembly and any subassemblies thereof and respective parts. The method further allows to provide a respective identifier for uniquely identifying the selected equipment. An input/output device (e.g., 302) for communicating with the database is provided. The method allows to access the database to interface with the detailed parts data, and retrieve from the database detailed data about the selected equipment using the respective identifier for the equipment, wherein service personnel graphically progresses from the selecte d assembly to any relevant subassembly and replacement parts by following any appropriate links.
