Synthesis and reformulation of requirements on predictability.

Requirement/subrequirement	(Re)formulation	Related literature sources
Predictability 1	The CPPS shall operate in a time-predictable way.
Predictability 1.1	The CPPS shall operate at a time frame that is compatible to that of the physical processes it seeks to control.	[24, 36, 37]
Predictability 1.2	The CPPS shall operate in a way that enables short-, medium-, and long-term planning of production activities.
Predictability 1.3	The CPPS shall produce with predictable quality.	[38]
