Planning is an activity for clarifying

actions or operations to achieve

a given goal and reserve enough

resource capacity to hit minimum

targets.


Scheduling is an activity for

allocating actions and operations

to particular resources at particular

times, talking into account various

actual constraints and optimization

of several evaluation parameters.

Maintenance and repair scheduling is similar to manufacturing scheduling but occur in a series of loops of varying duration. For example, a complex system such as an aircraft or a ship will require have both scheduled and

ad-hoc requirements.


Scheduled:

linebox an overall lifetime measured in decades

linebox major annual or biennial overhauls

linebox general maintenance requirements measured in days or months


Ad-hoc:

linebox unscheduled repairs

linebox preventative replacement
