A method of performing maintenance on a component of a system or platform utilizes historical data relating to a component, associates a maintenance task with a related component and determines a maintenance task interval to perform the task. Also claimed is a Maintenance Interval Determination and Optimization Tool (MIDOT) which provides optimized maintenance schedules for performing maintenance tasks on one or more components or systems, preferably based on component survival functions and economic analysis of non-safety tasks associated with maintenance schedules. MIDOT is preferably used for specified platforms such as aircraft. The MIDOT preferably filters maintenance history data, uses a statistical analysis, to predict likely maintenance needs, and performs an economic analysis to optimize aircraft maintenance schedules. Specifically, the MIDOT preferably calculates component survival probability, based on the specific usage of one or more related components within the platform and determines an optimal maintenance task interval to perform a maintenance task associated with the one or more related components. |
