Zusammenfassung:The present invention discloses a system (10) and method for analyzing fault log data from a malfunctioning locomotive or other large land-based, self-powered transport equipment. The method allows for receiving new fault log data (232) comprising a plurality of faults from the malfunctioning equipment. The method further allows for selecting a plurality of distinct faults (233) from the new fault log data. Respective generating steps allow for generating at least one distinct fault cluster (236) from the plurality of distinct faults and for generating a plurality of weighted repair and distinct fault cluster combinations. An identifying step allows for identifying at least one repair (238) for the at least one distinct fault cluster using the plurality of weighted repair and distinct fault cluster combinations.
