Abstract

A system for evaluating time requirements for performing maintenance on a maintenance object. One or more processors and memory are operable to provide a form on which a user describes a maintenance task. The described task is made available for maintenance time analysis as at least one of the following: a main task, a subtask of another main task, and an elementary operation. The user is allowed to combine a plurality of described tasks into one or more hierarchies designated by the user. This system provides flexibility to evaluate maintenance task times regardless of whether a level of detail and/or design maturity is minimal or complete.
