For facility managers, key performance indicators (KPIs) for planned maintenance deliver important insights into operations, including where you stand and where you\u2019re headed. By accurately measuring performance for\u00a0backlogged work order, preventive maintenance compliance, and planned maintenance percentage against both maintenance and business goals, facility managers can rebalance\u00a0resource allocations to increase efficiency<\/a> and effectiveness. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Working with hard data makes decision-making easier, and you can save time, money, and effort.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference between a maintenance metric and a KPI?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

People tend to use them interchangeably, but there are important differences. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A metric is a single data point that does not show a path to long-term goals, while a KPI is a measurement of data and gives a roadmap of how to reach your business goals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although metrics are sometimes included in\u00a0KPIs to create plans, KPIs are more in-depth and give you a clear view of what you need to do to reach your goals. A maintenance professional can use KPIs to help them see where their programs aren\u2019t performing well and then find solutions.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, a budget metric is just a simple data point. For example, it might be the amount you spent on parts for a specific asset. But a budgetary KPI can show you what percentage of your overall budget is going to parts, if it\u2019s too much, or if you should be investing more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are examples of planned maintenance KPIs facility managers should track?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your planned maintenance depends on many different factors, including industry, location, even the age of your facility and assets. The maintenance lead at a warehouse has different concerns than someone trying to keep a manufacturing line up and running. A warehouse in Alaska tracks its HVAC more closely than one in a milder climate. That said, there\u2019s a lot of overlap<\/span><\/p>\n

The three KPIs most facility managers would need to track when looking at the overall health of their preventive and condition-based maintenance programs:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
