Maintenance tracking system
First Claim
1. A maintenance tracking system for tracking maintenance required on a member of a fleet, the maintenance tracking system comprising:
- means for tracking accumulated usage data;
means for receiving a list of routine tasks required to be performed, each routine task having a control point which defines an interval at which the routine task is to be performed;
means for tracking task accomplishment data for each routine task;
means for determining a maintenance due point for each routine task, the maintenance due point being based upon the control point and the accomplishment data of the routine task;
means for identifying maintenance due tasks as those routine tasks for which a difference between the maintenance due point of the routine task and the accumulated usage data is less than a user-defined critical value; and
means for reporting maintenance due tasks.

21. A maintenance tracking system for tracking maintenance required for a member of a fleet, the system comprising:
-
means for tracking accumulated usage data for each member in the fleet;
means for receiving, for each member in the fleet, a list of routine tasks required to be performed on the member, each routine task having a control point which defines an interval at which the routine task must be performed;
means for tracking task accomplishment data for each routine task;
means for determining a maintenance due point for each routine task, the maintenance due point being based upon the control point and accomplishment data of the routine task;
means for identifying maintenance due tasks as those routine tasks for which a difference between the maintenance due point of the routine task and the accumulated usage data of the member is less than a user-defined critical value; and
means for reporting maintenance due tasks. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
