A method for managing maintenance of equipment includes identifying a
planned MRO task and a first set of components associated with the task
and determining a set of probabilities associated with a second set of
components and indicating that the second set of components will require
maintenance during the planned MRO task. The method further includes
developing a plan for maintenance of individual items in the second set
of components and, upon discovering a need for maintenance of at least
one item of the second set of components, accessing the plan and
integrating it with a plan of planned MRO tasks for the equipment.
