Abstract
A method includes determining, based on current repair data and at least one of historical repair data or existing repair specifications, a predicted material to be used during a vehicle repair, the vehicle repair including replacing or repairing a part of a vehicle. The material includes at least one of an adhesive, an abrasive, a tape, a paint, a coating, or a tool. The method also includes outputting data indicating the predicted material in a predicted material repair plan.
Claims20
A computing system comprising:
- a datastore comprising current repair data and at least one of historical data or an existing repair specification;
- at least one processor configured to:
- determine, based on current repair data and at least one of historical data or an existing repair specification in the datastore, a predicted material to be used during a vehicle repair, the vehicle repair including replacing or repairing a part of a vehicle;
- determine a predicted quantity of the predicted material to be used during the vehicle repair based on the current repair data and at least one of the historical data or the existing repair specification, wherein the predicted quantity is continuous data;
- determine a predicted material repair (PMR) plan that includes the predicted material and predicted quantity of the predicted material for the vehicle;
- and
- perform at least one action in response to determining the PMR plan.

A method comprising:
- determining, using a computing system, based on current repair data and at least one of historical data or an existing repair specification from a datastore, a predicted material to be used during a vehicle repair, the vehicle repair including replacing or repairing a part of a vehicle, wherein the predicted material is continuous data and non-discrete;
- determining a predicted quantity of the predicted material to be used during the vehicle repair based on the current repair data and at least one of the historical data or the existing repair specification;
- determining a predicted material repair plan that includes the predicted material and predicted quantity of the predicted material for the vehicle;
- and
- performing at least one action in response to determining the PMR plan.
