Abstract: A rule generation system includes a generator engine, an input unit and an output unit. The input unit receives a service report regarding an activity relating to a device type; the rule generator engine identifies entries from the natural language in the service report and determines whether that that are stored in a rules database apply. When the rules apply, the rule generator engine determines whether a second set rules applies. When no rules that relate to the device type are present, the rule generator engine forms a new rule, and updates this rule when technician actions are not equivalent to action steps of the rule. The output unit saves the new rule.
