Abstract
Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: obtaining service life data of a part including a maintenance operation count of the part. The life expectancy of the part is formulated as a function of a life span of the part and the maintenance operation count at a point in time based on the obtained service life data and data interpolated therefrom. A life expectancy model is built based on the function and a plurality of life expectancies are predicted by applying simulated inputs to the life expectancy model. The life expectancies are produced after verification to indicate when to replace the part.
