Abstract
A computer implemented method comprising receiving one or more predictive maintenance models each defining a time-based probability of failure for one or more components, receiving current performance data for the components, defining a failure function for each component from a predictive maintenance model for the component and the current performance data for the component, the failure function defining the probability of failure of the component in each of a set of time periods, defining a value loss function for each component from the failure function for the component and a time-based component cost, the value loss function defining the expected value loss due to a planned replacement of the component in a given time period before the component fails or reaches its scheduled end-of-life, receiving data defining one or more factors that have an impact on the cost of a maintenance option.
