ABSTRACT:
A method for planning, scheduling and allocation of maintenance, repair and overhaul resources includes establishing the configuration definition database, establishing a maintenance task database based on the configuration, determining the resource requirements for the maintenance tasks, optimizing the deployment of resources for those maintenance tasks in a specified time window based on resource requirements, resource availability, current maintenance execution status of equipment and activity-based cost models, creating allocation transactions to assign the resources to the specific tasks and initiating the kitting of material.
