Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining a lowest total cost maintenance plan. The method comprises receiving a sequence of maintenance actions in an order of a waiting time for each maintenance action, wherein one of the maintenance actions is likely to repair the failure mode. Each maintenance action has an associated cost equal to a waiting time cost, an execution time cost and a material cost, wherein the waiting time of each maintenance action is the time required to requisition and receive material required to perform the maintenance action. The method also constructs a maintenance plan comprising a primary requisition and a secondary requisition by assigning each of the sequence of maintenance actions to one of the primary and secondary requisition.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for building and executing reconfigurable algorithms in on-board environments which require pre-certification of the compiled code, such as avionics, flight control, and military applications. The code execution architecture includes a library of reusable function modules in the form of pre-compiled code blocks; an algorithm execution utility (AEU) for processing a user-assembled string of code blocks; and a customer interface for selecting code blocks, defining their associated parameters and sequence (execution order), structuring inputs and outputs, and for providing the integrated, machine readable application to the AEU at run time. The various sequences, permutations and combinations of functions and their associated parameters, inputs and outputs are pre-approved or certified a priori; consequently, the on-board reconfiguration and execution of complex algorithms may be performed in real time without the need for recoding, verification, or redeployment of the code base.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for selecting a maintenance plan such that the cost of the maintenance plan is the lowest or near the lowest. The method comprises receiving a set of maintenance actions, wherein one of the repair actions is likely to repair the failure mode. The set of maintenance actions is sequenced in the increasing order of their waiting times. Each maintenance action has an associated cost equal to a waiting time cost, an execution time cost and a material cost, wherein the waiting time of each maintenance action is the time required to requisition and receive material required to perform the maintenance action. The method also constructs a maintenance plan comprising a first requisition and a second requisition by assigning each of the sequence of maintenance actions to one of the first or the second requisition.

Abstract: A system and method for supplying a corrective maintenance plan for a system includes supplying diagnostic data to a processor. The diagnostic data are representative of a set of two or more potential independent faults within the system, and each of the potential independent faults in the set has a unique corrective maintenance plan associated therewith. The diagnostic data are processed, in the processor, to select only one of the corrective maintenance plans. Maintenance plan data representative of the selected corrective maintenance plan are generated in the processor. For identical sets of two or more potential independent faults, the selected maintenance plan is not always the same.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing or eliminating built-in tests and diagnostic trouble codes that are set as a result of improper parameter values. The method includes collecting field failure data that identifies diagnostic trouble codes and parameters of the system that are used to set diagnostic trouble codes. The method transforms the collected data into a format more appropriate for human analysis and pre-processes the transferred data to identify and remove information that could bias the human analysis. The method includes plotting linear and nonlinear combinations of operation parameters, performing data mining and analysis for detecting inappropriate settings of fault codes in the pre-processed data and providing the mined data to a subject matter expert for review to determine whether a diagnostic trouble code has been issued because of improper parameters.
