Abstract

A method of assigning a task to a resource in a multiple resource environment is performed by one or more processors or special-purpose computing hardware. The method includes receiving task information relating to at least one task to be performed by a resource in the multiple resource environment. The method also includes determining a cost value for each task, the cost value indicating a cost incurred if a maintenance event occurs during performance of the respective task. The method also includes receiving predictive maintenance information in relation to each of the multiple resources in the multiple resource environment, the predictive maintenance information indicating a likelihood of a maintenance event with respect to each of the multiple resources in the multiple resource environment. The method also includes allocating the at least one task to one of the resources in the multiple resource environment dependent on the predictive maintenance information of the multiple resources and the calculated cost score.
