Abstract
The present invention discloses a system and method for processing repair data and fault log data from one or more machines to facilitate analysis of a malfunctioning machine. The system includes a repair data storage unit comprising a plurality of repairs and a fault log data storage unit comprising a plurality of faults. A processor generates a plurality of cases from the repair data and the fault log data. Each case comprises a repair and a plurality of distinct faults. The processor further generates, for each of the plurality of cases, at least one repair and distinct fault cluster combination, and assigns, to each of the repair and distinct fault cluster combinations, a weight, whereby weighted repair and distinct fault cluster combinations facilitate prediction of at least one repair for the malfunctioning machine.
