Abstract
Systems and methods for scheduling maintenance of equipment include collecting pre-emptive maintenance data associated with a pre-emptive maintenance task associated with a component of equipment, collecting preventive maintenance data associated with a scheduled preventive maintenance task associated with the component or another component, applying a model to predict a failure time value associated with a future failure of the component, analyzing the data and the time value to determine an optimal time to perform a maintenance event, and using that optimal time to schedule the next maintenance event. Determining the optimal time includes minimizing a total cost of the maintenance.
