1. A method of maintaining a system comprising:
- inspecting at least one feature of a plurality of components of a system and recording at least one inspection result;
inputting the inspection results of the feature into an assessment system, the assessment system including a model of a system including the at least one component that determines a system performance parameter based on the input results of the inspected at least one feature;
determining a predicted value of the system performance parameter with the model of the system based on the input inspection results of the feature utilizing the predicted value to determine instructions for corrective action; and
displaying the determined instructions for the corrective action on a display device.

Abstract
The disclosed method and system utilizes inspection information from individual components to predict a value for a system performance parameter. The predicted system performance parameter is utilized to determine if corrective action is required for any of the system components. No corrective action is recommended if the predicted system performance parameter is within desired limits. Further, corrective action for a specific component of the system is performed and indicated independent of the inspection results of a specific component.
