A repair system for gas turbine engine components includes a computer system configured to receive a set of measured parameters for each gas turbine engine component in a plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, and determine a variation model based on the set of measured parameters wherein each of the gas turbine engine components is an as-run component and has been exposed to a substantially identical general wear pattern. The computer system includes at least one simulated engine model. The simulated engine model is configured to determine a predicted operation of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components. A correlation system is configured to correlate variations in the set of parameters for each of the gas turbine engine components in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components with a set of the predicted operations of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, thereby generating a predictive model based on the variations. A repair module is configured to generate a repair formula based on the predictive model. The repair formula is configured to receive a set of measured parameters of an as-run gas turbine engine component and determine a suggested repair capable of repairing the as-run gas turbine engine component.

A qualification system for gas turbine engine components includes a computer system configured to receive a set of measured parameters for each gas turbine engine component in a plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, and determine a variation model based on the set of measured parameters. The computer system includes at least one simulated engine model configured to determine a predicted operation of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, a correlation system configured to correlate variations in the set of parameters for each of the gas turbine engine components with a set of the predicted operations of each gas turbine engine, thereby generating a predictive model based on the variations. The computer system also includes a qualification module configured to generate a qualification formula based on the predictive model. The qualification formula is configured to receive a set of measured parameters of an as-manufactured gas turbine engine component and determine when the as manufactured gas turbine engine component is qualified for inclusion in at least one engine.

The simulated engine model is configured to determine a predicted operation of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components. A correlation system is configured to correlate variations in the set of parameters for each of the gas turbine engine components in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components with a set of the predicted operations of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, thereby generating a predictive model based on the variations. A maintenance schedule module is configured determine a predictive model operable to determine a predicted wear pattern of a second single route component that is substantially identical to the gas turbine engine components.
