Methods and apparatus to monitor work vehicles and to generate worklists to order the repair of such work vehicles should a machine failure be identified

A tangible computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to, at least:

• generate a model by collating warranty data, parts and associated maintenance data, and reference alert and measurement data for work vehicles, the reference alert and measurement data including a first alert from a first work vehicle and a second alert from a second work vehicle;
• associate the first and second alerts with at least one of a first classification, a second classification, or a third classification based on work vehicle operating parameters;
• determine a first weighting factor for the first alert and a second weighting factor for the second alert within the model based on information from at least one of a weighting factor database, owner/operator input, work order data, or worklist data to prioritize the first alert or the second alert within the model;
• update the model based on associating the first and second weighting factors with the first and second alerts;
• and
• generate a display including worklist and work order information.

A method, comprising:

• generating, by executing an instruction with a processor, a model by collating warranty data, parts and associated maintenance data, and reference alert and measurement data for work vehicles, the reference alert and measurement data including a first alert from a first work vehicle and a second alert from a second work vehicle;
• associating, by executing an instruction with the processor, the first and second alerts with at least one of a first classification, a second classification, or a third classification based on work vehicle operating parameters;
• determining, by executing an instruction with the processor, a first weighting factor for the first alert and a second weighting factor for the second alert within the model based on information from at least one of a weighting factor database, owner/operator input, work order data, or worklist data to prioritize the first alert or the second alert within the model;
• updating, by executing an instruction with the processor, the model based on associating the first and second weighting factors with the first and second alerts;
• and
• generating, by executing an instruction with the processor, a display including worklist and work order information.
