1. A replacement part validation system, the system comprising:
a scanning system that, using a scanner, scans a received part and provides the scan results of the received part;
a part recognition module that, based on the received scan results of the received part, detects a part identification and generates a part quality metric;
a job assignment module that correlates the received part to an outstanding repair job in a plurality of outstanding repair jobs;
an output generator that outputs the outstanding repair job and the part quality metric; and
a computing processor that, based on the received scanned results, actuates the part recognition module to review a database of parts and retrieve a most-likely match, and wherein the part quality metric is based on a comparison of the received part to the most-likely match, and wherein the computing processor causes the output generator to output the outstanding repair job and part quality metric to a source.
