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.

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.

The present disclosure is directed to an automated system and method of analyzing performance of engines in a test cell. The method includes electronically accessing engine operational data in a stored database of the test cell. Another step includes electronically retrieving operational data corresponding to the new test if at least one new test is detected in the stored database for an engine. Further, the method includes inputting the operational data corresponding to the new test into a performance model specific to an engine type for the engine. The method also includes electronically analyzing an output of the performance model. An additional step includes electronically generating at least one summary report of engine health of the engine based on the analyzed output. Thus, the method also includes providing the summary report as electronic output to a user.
