Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The optimization algorithm described herein combines stochastic programming and intelligent enumeration schemes that exploit the problem structure to avoid evaluating solutions that on their face are known to be non-optimal. The optimization algorithm finds the module workscope decisions and LLP replacement decisions that minimize expected future maintenance cost per engine flight cycle. The optimization algorithm considers the enormous number of possible solutions, and determines the best one.
