Answer: B

Explanation:

A strategy plan is a type of maintenance plan that defines different maintenance packages with different intervals for the same technical object. The system calculates the due dates for the maintenance packages based on the maintenance strategy assigned to the plan. The maintenance strategy contains the cycles and the shift factors for each package. The shift factors determine how the system shifts the planned dates of the next maintenance call when the maintenance work is delayed or performed earlier than planned. If the shift factor is 100%, the system shifts the planned date by the same number of days as the delay or the advance. If the shift factor is 0%, the system does not shift the planned date at all. The call object of a maintenance plan is the object that the system generates when a maintenance call is due. The call object can be a maintenance order, a maintenance notification, a service entry sheet, or a purchase requisition. If the call object is a maintenance order, the system uses the actual finish date of the maintenance order to calculate the future planned dates for the maintenance packages. The actual finish date is the date when the maintenance work is completed and confirmed. The planned date of the next call, the date of the final confirmation, and the technical completion date of the maintenance order are not relevant for the calculation of future planned dates if the maintenance work is delayed.
