This paper outlines a scheduling algorithm which leverages Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) data to determine when maintenance should be performed. The\r\nobjective of the scheduler is to reduce the cost associated with Performance-Based Logistics contracts, which ultimately improves the profit margins of Product Support\r\nProviders.\r\nAn example consisting of 50 aircraft for which regular recurring maintenance and CBM actions are required is analyzed as a representative problem both in term of\r\ncomplexity and scale. The results indicate that significant cost savings can be achieved by utilizing a CBM scheduling algorithm. In addition, to the maintenance cost\r\nsavings, the CBM scheduling algorithm is also able to identify potential resource limitations within the maintenance organization.
