A computer-implemented method for facilitating plasma processing tool component management across plurality of tools is provided. The method includes receiving first component data for first plurality of components, including identification and usage history, at first database associated with first tool. The method also includes receiving second component data for second plurality of components at second database associated with second tool, which is different from first tool. The method further includes synchronizing first and second component data with third database. The synchronizing includes synchronizing between third database and at least one of first and second database rules that govern usage of at least one component of first and second plurality of components. The third database is coupled to exchange data with plurality of tools. The method yet also includes obtaining information, using rules and usage history data about given component prior to performing one of replacement, analysis, and maintenance.
