An oil and fat deterioration prediction method for predicting deterioration of oil and fat and notifying a result of prediction, using a measurement device for measuring a deterioration indicator that is an indicator indicative of a deterioration degree of the oil and fat, an oil and fat deterioration prediction device for predicting deterioration information that is information about the deterioration of the oil and fat using a measured value of the deterioration indicator measured by the measurement device, and a notification device for notifying the result of prediction of the deterioration information predicted by the oil and fat deterioration prediction device, the oil and fat deterioration prediction device being configured to store a deterioration characteristic model indicative of transition of the deterioration indicator and a deterioration reference value indicative of a reference related to the deterioration indicator,
- the method comprising:
- a measuring step of measuring the deterioration indicator, by the measurement device;
- a data acquiring step of acquiring the measured value measured in the measuring step, by the oil and fat deterioration prediction device;
- a model updating step of updating the deterioration characteristic model as stored based on a plurality of most recent measured values acquired in the data acquiring step, by the oil and fat deterioration prediction device;
- a deterioration predicting step of predicting the deterioration information based on a latest measured value acquired in the data acquiring step, the deterioration characteristic model updated in the model updating step, and the deterioration reference value as stored, by the oil and fat deterioration prediction device;
- a result outputting step of outputting the result of prediction predicted in the deterioration predicting step to the notification device, by the oil and fat deterioration prediction device;
- and
- a notifying step of acquiring and notifying the result of prediction of the deterioration information output in the result outputting step, by the notification device.
