        • potential maintenance This variable (potential maintenance) is the point of the MoF model where the two constraints on maintenance inter-relate. This variable restrains the amount of maintenance that can be performed by taking the smallest of the two constraints: if there is adequate staff capacity but inadequate finances for maintenance, then finances constrain the maintenance that can be performed (with the converse holding true).
