A server exchange utility for exchanging manufacturing information from a number of geographically dispersed sites is provided in combination with a difference editor for comparing differences between objects representing the manufacturing information. The exchange utility stores all manufacturing information at a central location including global manufacturing information and copies of local manufacturing information for each manufacturing site. The difference editor uses a GUI to provides an organized, easy-to-read interface to the system.
