ABSTRACT:
A method of forecasting unscheduled component demand for a plurality of components in a fleet of assemblies includes establishing a set of models to be used for forecasting unscheduled component demand, selecting a best model for each component, and determining a date at which a cumulative probability of unscheduled component demand reaches a predetermined threshold.
