Abstract

Various implementations described herein are directed to a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, may cause the computer to receive a desired uptime for one or more pieces of equipment. The computer may receive a set of supplies used in maintaining the one or more pieces of equipment. The computer may determine a plurality of actions for achieving the desired uptime based on a probability analysis of one or more maintenance records for the one or more pieces of equipment. The plurality of actions includes ordering one or more supplies in the set of supplies. The computer may create one or more milestones from the plurality of actions.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive a desired uptime for one or more pieces of equipment;

receive a set of supplies used in maintaining the one or more pieces of equipment;

determine a plurality of actions for achieving the desired uptime based on a probability analysis of one or more maintenance records for the one or more pieces of equipment, wherein the plurality of actions comprises ordering one or more supplies in the set of supplies; and

create one or more milestones from the plurality of actions.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, further comprising executable instructions that cause the computer to receive a set of maintenance actions used in maintaining the one or more pieces of equipment.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 2, wherein the plurality of actions further comprise performing one or more maintenance actions in the set of maintenance actions.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the desired uptime comprises a percentage time that the one or more pieces of equipment are available to operate out of an amount of time that the one or more pieces of equipment are scheduled to operate.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the executable instructions that cause the computer to create the one or more milestones comprise executable instructions that cause the computer to:

receive information describing the one or more milestones;

perform a hierarchical fetch to retrieve a set of rules corresponding to the one or more milestones;

use the set of rules to create an interface; and

display the interface.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5, wherein the set of rules comprises display rules, flow rules, business rules, fulfillment rules, data rules, notification rules, or combinations thereof.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5, wherein the executable instructions that cause the computer to create the one or more milestones further comprise executable instructions that cause the computer to use a portion of the set of rules to transmit a message corresponding to the completion of the one or more milestones, the failure to complete the one or more milestones, or a delay in the completion of the one or more milestones.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein the set of supplies is a weighted priority list.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive a desired uptime for one or more pieces of equipment;

receive a set of maintenance actions used in maintaining the one or more pieces of equipment;

determine a plurality of actions for achieving the desired uptime based on a probability analysis of one or more maintenance records for the one or more pieces of equipment, wherein the plurality of actions comprises performing one or more maintenance actions in the set of maintenance actions; and

create one or more milestones from the plurality of actions.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the desired uptime comprises a percentage time that the one or more pieces of equipment are available to operate out of an amount of time that the one or more pieces of equipment are scheduled to operate.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the set of maintenance actions is a weighted priority list.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the executable instructions that cause the computer to create the one or more milestones comprise executable instructions that cause the computer to:

receive information describing the one or more milestones;

perform a hierarchical fetch to retrieve a set of rules corresponding to the one or more milestones;

use the set of rules to create an interface; and

display the interface.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the set of rules comprises display rules, flow rules, business rules, fulfillment rules, data rules, notification rules, or combinations thereof.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12, wherein the executable instructions that cause the computer to create the one or more milestones further comprise executable instructions that cause the computer to use a portion of the set of rules to transmit a message corresponding to the completion of the one or more milestones, the failure to complete the one or more milestones, or a delay in the completion of the one or more milestones.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive a set of contractual obligations;

receive a set of penalties corresponding to the contractual obligations;

use the set of penalties and the set of contractual obligations to determine an order in which the contractual obligations in the set of contractual obligations are to be completed to reduce the amount of penalties;

create one or more milestones, wherein the one or more milestones comprise completing one or more of the contractual obligations in the determined order.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the set of penalties describe penalties for failing to complete obligations in the set of contractual obligations.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the executable instructions that cause the computer to determine the order in which the obligations are to be completed comprises executable instructions that cause the computer to first complete a contractual obligation having the highest penalty in the set of contractual obligations.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein executable instructions that cause the computer to create the one or more milestones comprise executable instructions that cause the computer to:

receive information describing the one or more milestones;

perform a hierarchical fetch to retrieve a set of rules corresponding to the one or more milestones;

using the set of rules to create an interface; and

displaying the interface.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the set of rules comprises display rules, flow rules, business rules, fulfillment rules, data rules, notification rules, or combinations thereof.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the executable instructions that cause the computer to create the one or more milestones further comprise executable instructions that cause the computer to use a portion of the set of rules to transmit a message corresponding to the completion of the one or more milestones, the failure to complete the one or more milestones, or a delay in the completion of the one or more milestones.
