System and method for estimating maintenance task durations

摘要

A system (200) for estimating maintenance task duration is provided. The system (200) comprising at least one computing system (120) comprising at least one database (164) comprising a plurality of historical maintenance task events (322), each historical maintenance task event of said plurality of historical maintenance task events (322) comprising a plurality of event factors. The database also comprises a plurality of baseline task durations (320), each baseline task duration of said plurality of baseline task durations (320) associated with a maintenance task. The computing system (120) also comprises at least one query module (202) configured to receive a query (310) comprising a first query maintenance task (312) and a plurality of query factors (314, 316). The at least one query module (202) is also configured to identify an initial baseline task duration (422) and a plurality of baseline task factors (422) from one of said plurality of baseline task durations (320) and said plurality of historical maintenance task events (322) based at least in part on said first query maintenance task (312). The at least one query module (202) is further configured to identify at least one adjustment factor (432) based at least in part on the differences between said plurality of query factors (314, 316) and said plurality of baseline task factors (422). The at least one query module (202) is also configured to calculate a maintenance task duration estimate (442) based at least in part on said initial baseline task duration (422) and said one or more adjustment factors (432). The at least one query module (202) is further configured to plan execution of the first query maintenance task (312) based at least in part on the maintenance task duration estimate (442).
