A planning entity (100), which schedules a motor vehicle's maintenance visits to a workshop, includes: first and second input interfaces (110, 112), a main processing module (130) and an output interface (114). The first input interface (110) receives utilization data (UD) representing how the motor vehicle has been used during a data collection period. The second input interface (112) receives a client request (CR) containing at least one parameter specifying information relating to a desired maintenance strategy for the motor vehicle, which information is uncorrelated to the utilization data (UD). Based on the utilization data (UD) and the client request (CR), the main processing module (130) generates a maintenance program (MP) that is presented via the output interface (114). The maintenance program (MP) describes recommended visits to a workshop in terms of a series of time instances (T1, T2, ..., Ty) to each of which is associated a set of maintenance instances (MI1, MI2, ..., MIn) to execute at that time instance (T1, T2, ..., Ty). |
