Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for planning a repair of mobile machines.
According to the invention, a description of the required repair is to be sent together with a machine code from a local computer system to a central processor, so that the latter, using machine-specific data, can produce a proposal on the course of the repair and send it back. Due to the combination of general repair data with machine-specific data, it is possible to plan the repair better, make spares available and monitor execution. The data produced during the repair can advantageously be used for subsequent work steps and analyses.
