Default Comparing Lists to Partial Lists

I have a project coming up that I am starting to prepare for an
wondered if anyone could give me a direction to start towards.

I have a list of components that make up certain of several products
("Kits" if you will.) This list is used for forecasting so the list i
only a partial list of the components that make up the products. What
need to be able to do is this...when we receive actual orders o
components, I need to be able to have that order compare to the list o
possible kits and determine which kit the order most closely matches t
determine which product they ordered.

Would this be an indexing function or is there a better direction
should investigate?

I would greatly appreciate anyone with suggestions as to which way t
go. THanks
