	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Maintenance prediction is a forecast and activities that must run during the maintenance cycle, along with the relative moments. When prediction is carried out for a anonymous item, the entire service BOM for that anonymous item is taken into account. Activities are predicted for all underlying anonymous items.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>You can create a maintenance prediction in the following ways:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Manually in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/spc/tsspc1125m000" role="session">Maintenance Concept - Predicted Activities (tsspc1125m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Automatically in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/spc/tsspc1225m000" role="session">Generate Prediction (tsspc1225m000)</GUIRef> session. The prediction is made for one year. The results can appear in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/spc/tsspc1125m000" role="session">Maintenance Concept - Predicted Activities (tsspc1125m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>

		<ProcedureSection><SectionTitle>How to generate maintenance prediction</SectionTitle>
			<Steps><Step><StepTitle>Define item data</StepTitle>
					<Paragraph>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/mdm/tsmdm2100m000" role="session">Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000)</GUIRef> session to define default service values for items. You must define information such as measurements, life cycle, and maintenance cycle.</Paragraph>
				</Step>
				<Step><StepTitle>Define bill of material</StepTitle>
					<Paragraph>Define the bill of material in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/cfg/tscfg1110m000" role="session">Item Breakdowns (tscfg1110m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
				</Step>
				<Step><StepTitle>Reference Activities</StepTitle>
					<Paragraph>You must define the reference activity, which is the basic element of a maintenance concept, in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Reference Activities (tsacm1101m000)</GUIRef> session. You can use these reference activities to create a maintenance concept, a maintenance prediction, or a maintenance planning.</Paragraph>
					<Paragraph>The reference activity always contains a service type. This service type has an important role when a maintenance plan must be defined. For more details about service types, refer to the Master Data Management (MDM) module procedure.</Paragraph>
				</Step>
				<Step><StepTitle>Inspection Templates</StepTitle>
					<Paragraph>If a measurement type is linked to a reference activity, the measurement type is called a measurement inspection. This measurement inspection must be performed as a part of the reference activity. When you perform the measurement and norm values are exceeded, you must perform one or more activities. Therefore, the follow-up activity must be available to be inserted in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Reference Activities - Measurement Types (tsacm3160m000)</GUIRef> session. A measurement is the value of a specific variable (measuring quantity) of an object in a specific situation.</Paragraph>
				</Step>
				<Step><StepTitle>Maintenance Concepts - Item</StepTitle>
					<Paragraph>A maintenance concept is a list of activities to be carried out on a anonymous item as a part of maintenance policy. The frequency at which, the activity must be carried out is also specified. You can specify various maintenance concepts for the same anonymous item. To enable this, you can use the entity usage class.</Paragraph>
					<Paragraph>Use <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Maintenance Concepts - Item (tsspc1120m000)</GUIRef> session to list the reference activities that constitute an item's maintenance concept.</Paragraph>
				</Step>
				<Step><StepTitle>Generate Prediction</StepTitle>
					<Paragraph>On the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/cfg/tscfg1110m000" role="session">Specific</GUIRef> menu in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Maintenance Concepts - Item (tsspc1120m000)</GUIRef> session, click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/cfg/tscfg1110m000" role="session">Generate Predictions</GUIRef> to start the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Generate Prediction (tsspc1225m000)</GUIRef> session, which enables you to generate a list of predicted activities for the item, based on the item's reference activities listed in this session. You can click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Resource Requirements</GUIRef> to start the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Reference Activity - Resource Requirements (tsacm2120m000)</GUIRef> session, which you can use to view the list of resource requirement for the particular reference activity.</Paragraph>
				</Step>
				<Step><StepTitle>Maintenance Concept - Predicted Activities</StepTitle>
					<Paragraph>Use the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Maintenance Concept - Predicted Activities (tsspc1125m000)</GUIRef> session to view the list of activities predicted for the preventive maintenance of an item. The item's predicted activities are either generated in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Generate Maintenance Plan (tsspc2200m000)</GUIRef> session, based on the reference activities listed in the item's maintenance concept, or are entered manually in this session.</Paragraph>
