PMs Dashboard Overview

PM schedules are critical for successful Asset Management

Planned Maintenance (PMs) and PM management is an important part of ManagerPlus.
The PM Management dashboard lets you stay current on:

  • Which reoccurring jobs have come due
  • Future PMs
  • PMs currently being worked on

On the PM Dashboard, you have some Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that will show you:

  1. How many PMs are ready for work (plus, the number of existing PMs that have active work orders)
  2. The percentage of Open Work Orders currently coming from PMs
  3. Monthly Past Estimated and Actual Work Orders created from PMs
  4. Upcoming Workload Forecast (showing the number of hours projected to be needed on upcoming PMs)

These KPIs are meant to give you a quick, at-a-glance, snapshot of what is going on and the past and future workload generated from PM records.

The List View

By default, the list of PMs will sort by:

  1. Maturity Reached (the 100% due on top, descending down to 0% due at the bottom
  2. Notices  (PMs with notifications on them.  This can include:
  • Ready (PMs that are due to be worked on) PMs-Alert.png
  • Has WO (PM that has already been turned into an active work order) ActiveWO.png

    Other Notable Fields   

Next Date:  The projected date the PM should come.  On log-based PM cycles, these dates are calculated using the Asset's daily utilization rate

NOTE:  Some dates may be accompanied by an alert symbol.  PMs-Alert.png
This is displayed if the asset attached to the PM has not had a meter/log entry in more than 7 days, and thus the date listed is considered unreliable.
