Abstract: The present invention is a system for enabling an operator to dynamically manage maintenance of a member of a fleet. The system includes a program manager system, a tracking manager system and a production manager system. The program manager system is for extracting maintenance tasks from maintenance publications, and for guiding the formation of maintenance tasks groups. The tracking manager system is for monitoring accumulated usage data of the member of the fleet, and for identifying maintenance due tasks and maintenance due task groups from the respective maintenance tasks and maintenance task groups for which a difference between the control point and the accumulated usage data is less than a user-defined critical value. The production manager system is for generating and implementing a dynamic maintenance flow chart which details scheduling data for each individual task of the maintenance due tasks and maintenance due task groups.
