Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products sustain a fleet of configuration-controlled assets. The method involves integrating a plurality of previously separate systems with reusable business transactions associated with managing a fleet of vehicles. The method also involves receiving operational data associated with a vehicle of the fleet, integrating the operational data per customer requirements, packaging and distributing the operational data to the plurality of systems, and installing and distributing the operational data to one or more applications of the plurality of systems utilizing reusable business transactions. The system utilizes a plurality of applications and a plurality of logical subsystems, which are connected to each other through gateways. The logical subsystems use a common format defined by a set of messages. However, the applications can use a plurality of different formats.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product of developing a hybrid interactive electronic technical manual. A set of sub-elements associated with core maintenance tasks is selected from a plurality of sub-elements in technical data for a device to form a set of core sub-elements. A cost-benefit analysis is performed on each sub-element in the set of remaining sub-elements to identify a sub-element benefit rating for the each sub-element. Sub-elements in the set of remaining sub-elements having a sub-element rating greater than or equal to a threshold benefit rating are selected to form a set of high benefit sub-elements. The set of core sub-elements and the set of high benefit sub-elements are converted from the non-interactive native file format to an interactive electronic technical manual database format. A set of links to the set of unconverted sub-elements is generated to form the hybrid interactive electronic technical manual.

Abstract: An equipment module is analyzed through the use of an array of failure probability values. The array of failure probability values provides an indication of the probability that the equipment module will fail at a plurality of different times. A cost of operating the equipment module is determined by calculating the cost of operating the equipment module at each of the different times using the array of failure probability values, so that the cost calculated at each of the different times is proportional to the probability that the equipment module will fail at the respective time. The cost of operating the equipment module at each of the different times can include a recurring cost value and a non-recurring cost value. An additional probability can be utilized when calculating the cost of operating the equipment module. A maintenance time can be determined, and the costs are calculated in view of maintenance performed at the maintenance time.
