Abstract

A novel m-ary tree-based approach is presented to solve asset management decisions which are combinatorial in nature. The approach introduces a new dynamic constraint-based control mechanism which is capable of excluding infeasible solutions from the solution space. The approach also provides a solution to the challenges with ordering of assets decisions.
