1. A method for operating an industrial scale installation, comprising: monitoring a component operating parameter for a component of the industrial scale installation; monitoring an installation operating parameter for an operating state of the industrial scale installation; storing the component operating parameter in a storage facility; storing the installation operating parameter in the storage facility; determining a characteristic fatigue value for a current fatigue state of the component using the installation operating parameter and/or the component operating parameter; determining a predicted fatigue value for the component using the characteristic fatigue value and a plurality of guidance parameters from a planned change of state of the installation; identifying a guide component as the component with the highest predicted fatigue value; determining the predicted fatigue value of the guide component for each of a plurality of planned state changes; selecting one of the planned state changes based on the predicted fatigue value; and initiating the selected planned state change.
