New features and enhancements

Add the mean time between failures (MTBF) score to all assets
The MTBF score is an average time that is used as a crucial element of maintenance management. The mean time between failure (MTBF) is an average value that can be used to estimate the possible failure of the assets. MTBF is calculated by dividing the total time of operation by the number of failures that occur during that time. Also, you can apply the MTBF threshold filter on the asset records to evaluate the MTBF score.

For more information, see Mean time between failures (MTBF).

Add default scores to all assets
The system prompts you to activate the default scores such as health, criticality, and risk scores for all the assets in the system. When default scores are activated in the system, all the existing assets and the assets that are added in future are considered for default scores calculation. You can manually activate or deactivate the default scores. All the assets that are considered for default score activation are added to the Default_scores scoring group. Also, you can duplicate the default scores to use and modify its contributor as needed.

For more information, see Default scores.

Threshold for scores
This version includes a Thresholds tab in the Score settings page. On this tab, you can create thresholds for MTBF scores. When you apply the threshold as a filter on assets records, indicators with MTBF scores are displayed based on the configured ranges of the threshold. Thresholds help you evaluate the MTBF scores.

For more information, see Configuring thresholds.

Add data needed for score calculations
You are prompted to provide the data that is needed for the score calculations. The system indicates the missing data, such as the asset installation date and expected life for an asset as provided by the manufacturer. This data is needed for calculating the scores such as age, health, remaining useful life (RUL), and mean time between failures (MTBF).

For more information, see Adding missing data.

Maintain Maximo Models for Electrical Distribution within the application
As an administrator, you can activate, deactivate, or upgrade the Maximo Models for Electrical Distribution from the Suite Administration page.

For more information, see Maintaining Maximo Models for Electrical Distribution.

Technical updates

Map support
Support is deprecated for Bing Maps and Google Maps as map providers. Support is available for the OpenMap application. For more information, see Map manager.
Upgrading to Cloud Pak for Data version 4.8 requires retraining models
Upgrading Cloud Pak for Data to version 4.8 through Maximo Application Suite or Maximo Predict negatively impacts the existing trained models. Plan to retrain the models with Cloud Pak for Data version 4.8 before you upgrade to version 9.0 of Maximo Application Suite or Maximo Predict.

For more information, see Upgrade of Cloud Pak for Data requires retraining for some models of Maximo Predict.
