Abstract
In one aspect, there is a system a storage device and a planning engine. The storage device can be permanent or persistent. The storage device includes a first planning object having a first value associated with an out of compliance parameter, a second value associated with a maximum utilization parameter, the second value being less than the first value, a third value associated with a minimum utilization parameter, the third value being less than the second value, and a fourth value associated with a target utilization value, the fourth value being less than the second value and greater than the third value and indicating when a maintenance demand is due. The planning engine is configured to determine whether a slot exists for the maintenance demand where the slot comprises a start date between the second and third values, inclusive.
