Abstract
A system is provided for maintenance of a manufactured product composed of a plurality of parts. A modeling engine may receive failure data for the plurality of parts in which the failure data indicates individual instances of failure of at least two of a multiple quantity of a part of the plurality of parts. Each of the at least two of the multiple quantity may be located at a respective distinct location in the manufactured product. The modeling engine may generate a superimposed failure model (SFM) for the part, including determining a lifetime distribution of the part based at least partially on application of a lifetime distribution model to the SFM. A maintenance engine coupled to the modeling engine may perform a maintenance activity including determining a maintenance interval determined for the part according to the lifetime distribution of the part.
