Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to generate an asset workscope are disclosed. An example system includes an asset health calculator to identify an asset on which to perform maintenance based on generating a first asset health quantifier corresponding to a first asset health status, a task generator to determine a first workscope including first asset maintenance tasks, and a task optimizer to determine a second workscope including second asset maintenance tasks based on the first asset health quantifier and/or first workscope. The example system includes a workscope effect calculator to generate a second asset health quantifier corresponding to a second asset health status when the second workscope is completed on the asset, and to update the asset health calculator, task generator, and/or task optimizer to improve determination of first and/or second workscopes to improve the second asset health quantifier relative to the first asset health quantifier.

Systems and methods to generate an asset workscope

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate a predictive asset health quantifier of a turbine engine. An example apparatus includes a performance model analyzer to determine a fleet behavior parameter by generating a reference performance model using historical information for a fleet of operators using turbine engines, generate a residual performance model based on calculating a difference between the fleet behavior parameter and a plurality of operator behavior parameters, identify an operator as a candidate improvement target based on comparing the operator behavior parameters corresponding to the operator to the fleet in the residual performance model, and determine an adjusted operator behavior parameter for the candidate improvement target. The example apparatus further includes a system updater to update a computer-based model to replace the operator behavior parameter with the adjusted operator behavior parameter, and a task optimizer to determine a workscope for the turbine engine.

Methods and apparatus to generate a predictive asset health quantifier of a turbine engine

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to perform prognostic health monitoring of a turbine engine. An example apparatus includes a health quantifier calculator to execute a computer-generated model to generate first sensor data of a turbine engine, the first sensor data based on simulating a sensor monitoring the turbine engine using asset monitoring information, a parameter tracker to execute a tracking filter using the first sensor data and second sensor data to generate third sensor data corresponding to the turbine engine, the second sensor data based on obtaining sensor data from a sensor monitoring the turbine engine, the third sensor data based on comparing the first sensor data to the second sensor data, the health quantifier calculator to execute the computer-generated model using the third sensor data to generate an asset health quantifier of the turbine engine; and a report generator to generate a report including the asset health quantifier and a workscope recommendation based on the asset health quantifier when the asset health quantifier satisfies a threshold.

Methods and apparatus for prognostic health monitoring of a turbine engine

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to generate workscope tasks. An example apparatus includes a workscope task generator and a workscope task processor. The example workscope task generator is to process an asset health quantifier and a next mission criterion for a target asset according to a workscope transfer function to generate a set of workscope tasks for maintenance of the asset at a desired health state to satisfy the next mission criterion, the workscope tasks involving a location, a resource, and a time for maintenance of the engine. When the generated set of workscope tasks does not satisfy a lifecycle expectation for the asset, the generated set of workscope tasks is modified by the workscope task processor to generate a set of targeted, forecast workscope tasks from the modified set of workscope tasks to trigger maintenance of the engine.
