A computer-based system and method for developing an optimized step-by-step procedure for servicing a monitored machine using case-based reasoning based on an analysis of stored machine specifications (including warranty information) and using other rules based on an analysis of sensor data received through a telematics system from sensors equipped on the machine. The system generates an optimized service procedure based on previously collected and real time information to enable service to be performed more efficiently.
