System and method for predicting timing and costs of service events in a life cycle of a product

摘要

A system (28) and method for predicting timing and costs of service events in a life cycle of a product. A service database (30) contains a plurality of service information for the product. A preprocessor (32) processes the plurality of service information into a predetermined format. A statistical analyzer (34) analyzes the plurality of processed service information to determine a plurality of compartment failure information. A simulator (40), simulates the service events of the product according to the plurality of compartment failure information and predicts the timing and costs of the service events.
