      <Paragraph>The variable and the

         <Paragraph>A copying machine must
		  be serviced after every 15,000 copies. The <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#000032" role="glossary">dependent variable</Link> is the number of copies. The <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#000036" role="glossary">dependent norm value</Link> is 15,000.</Paragraph>
         <List>
            <ListItem>In case of predicted
			 inspections (PI), the value of the dependent variable must be measured and
			 compared with the norm values. If the measured value is outside the limits of
			 the norm values (upper/lower limit), an activity must be carried out. You can
			 do this immediately or as a follow-up activity.</ListItem>

         <Paragraph>The norm value was not

            <ListItem>In case of <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#CounteValue_ts" role="glossary">counter value</Link> (CV) and <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#000012" role="glossary">predicted activity</Link> (PA): Maintenance must be carried out
			 when the norm value is reached. As a result, this value determines whether the
			 activity must be carried out. Note: If a car must be inspected every 2,000 km,
			 the first norm value is 2,000 km, the second norm value is 4,000 km, and so
			 on.</ListItem>
