  • Patent number: 8504396
    Abstract: A method and apparatus directed to receiving maintenance demands and historical maintenance data associated with maintenance items are presented. A plurality of models that each define locations, maintenance items, resources, cycles, and average performance is generated, wherein each model represents a hypothetical scenario adjustable by a user so that a model representing one scenario may be compared alongside another model to view the differences in result for various hypothetical scenarios. One or more plans are generated for each model and take into account the received maintenance demands and historical maintenance data. A work package is generated in view of the received maintenance demands and historical maintenance data and the plan.

  • Publication number: 20040138938
    Abstract: In one aspect, there is a system with a planning engine. The planning engine is configured to receive a packaging type maintenance demand including a valid date range, to determine an maintenance item associated with the packaging type maintenance demand, to determine one or more assigned slots associated with the maintenance item, each slot including a respective date range, to select one slot from the determined one or more assigned slots, the selected one slot having a respective date range that is compatible with the valid date range, and to combine a first set of maintenance tasks associated with the packaging type maintenance demand with a second set of maintenance tasks associated with the selected one slot.

  • Publication number: 20040122723
    Abstract: In one aspect, there is a system a storage device and a planning engine. The storage device can be permanent or persistent. The storage device includes a first planning object having a first value associated with an out of compliance parameter, a second value associated with a maximum utilization parameter, the second value being less than the first value, a third value associated with a minimum utilization parameter, the third value being less than the second value, and a fourth value associated with a target utilization value, the fourth value being less than the second value and greater than the third value and indicating when a maintenance demand is due. The planning engine is configured to determine whether a slot exists for the maintenance demand where the slot comprises a start date between the second and third values, inclusive.
