This dashboard summarizes recent maintenance trends and asset characteristics to provide insight into how assets are performing, and which assets may need work and attention. We have included an Asset Health rank to enable you to prioritize attention to higher risk assets. This priority ranking is based on non-PM trends, critical non-PM trends, PM trends, and recent WO cost.

 

In order to receive an Asset Health rank based on each key component, there are certain eligibility criteria that need to be met by the asset.

  • The eligibility criteria include assets that are up and functioning (based on keywords in the Asset Status field), assets with at least 12 months of work orders, and assets with at least 10 work orders over the last 12 months.

  • If an asset is ineligible to receive an asset health rank, it will receive a rank of Ineligible. Even if an asset is ineligible to receive a ranking, you will still be able to click on any asset to view trends and KPIs, but those assets will not rise to the top of the Asset Health ranking list.

Asset Risk by Site

This chart provides a summary of the average Asset Risk rank by Site. The chart is sorted by highest average risk rank and allows you to filter into sites that have the highest risk assets.

 

Suggested High Risk Assets

Displays a list of assets prioritized by an Asset Heath rank that is based on the asset's recent maintenance history. The priority rank helps you to see which assets might be in need of major repair or replacement indicated by the amount of work done to the asset. The list is sorted by the priority rank and then secondarily sorted by the number of Work Orders.

 

Key Components in Asset Health Prioritization

The Asset Health rank is comprised of four components:

 

  • The Non-PM Trend component of the Asset Health ranking specifically considers the trend of non-PM maintenance over the past 12 months, as well as a seasonal comparison of non-PM over the past quarter, as compared to non-PM over the same quarter of the previous year (i.e., last quarter vs. 5 quarters ago).

  • The text identifies if non-PM work orders for the selected asset have been Trending Up or Trending Down/Steady.

 

  • The Critical Non-PM Trend component specifically focuses on the trends seen over the past 12 months in high priority work orders. Non-PM are deemed to be “Critical” if the work order priority field includes particular keywords, like “Emergency” or “Critical.”

  • The text identifies if critical non-PM work orders for the selected asset have been Trending Up or Trending Down/Steady.

 

  • The PM Trend component analyzes whether or not an asset has ever had any preventative maintenance, or currently has PM schedules. It also considers the recent trends in both the quantity of PM, as well as the time it takes to complete PM work orders.

  • The data from this component can be used to identify assets that have been deprioritized from a preventative maintenance perspective.

  • The text identifies if there has been a Favorable pattern or Unfavorable pattern recently in PM work orders for the selected asset.

 

  • The Recent WO Cost component looks for recent, singular costs tied to work orders that are significant. In this case, significant means that they amount to a sizeable portion of the asset’s value, which is determined by replacement cost. If replacement cost information is not available, it is determined by purchase price.

  • If a significant Work Order cost is noted, this asset will be given a lower priority ranking, because that cost likely indicates that a major repair occurred. For example, if an asset is worth $10,000 and recently receives a $5,000 repair, it is reasonable to assume that a significant part of the asset was replaced, which should improve the asset’s performance into the future. *Note: If there is no significant work order cost found, this component has no effect on the priority ranking.

  • The text indicates if a singular work order cost for the selected asset was Significant or Not Significant.

 

Below each component, there is more detail around what specific trends in the Asset Health components are driving the priority ranking. This gives you the ability to take a deeper look into the health of a particular asset. *Note: The descriptive notes will only populate if a specific asset is selected.

 

Work Order Trends

Displays a series of charts that allow you to dive deeper into the Asset Health priority components and visualize the recent trends associated with your assets. These charts will be most useful when a specific asset is selected.

  • Past 12 Months: This chart displays the number of non-PM work orders and PM work orders an asset has had over the past 12 months.

  • Non-PM: This chart shows the number of non-PM work orders an asset has had over the past twelve months, as well as an Upper Threshold and a Lower Threshold.

    • The thresholds are calculated by looking at the average number of non-PM work orders all assets in the same asset category have had and identifying the middle 50%, i.e., the 25th and 75th percentiles.

    • The thresholds serve to provide a better understanding of whether or not the number of non-PM work orders an asset has had is similar to the number of non-PM work orders similar assets have had.

  • Year over Year: This chart provides a comparison of the number of work orders an asset has had by different years. On the y-axis, you can select to view Created Non-PM Work Orders or Completed PM Work Orders.

  • Trends by Priority: This chart shows the work order counts over time by Work Order Priority.

  • Average Days to Close: This chart shows the average days to close work orders over time by both PM and non-PM, side by side.

 

KPIs

Displays various KPIs by Asset, Site, Location, Manufacturer, and Supplier. Each table includes KPIs around asset value, total work order cost, work order counts, and work order completion.

 

Work Order Detail

This table displays all the work orders related to the selected asset and includes the date created, date completed, description of the work, and whether the work order was a PM work order or a non-PM work order. This data gives you the ability to dive deeper into the particular work orders associated with a selected asset.

 

Asset Detail

This table displays various pieces of asset information, including the Asset Category, Make, Model, Purchase Date, Asset and Replacement Cost, Warranty Expiration Date, Asset Status, and Criticality.

 

 

This dashboard sheds light into how assets are performing and clearly identifies where attention might be needed to keep your operations running smoothly. *Note: A downtime work order is considered a completed, non-PM work order that is attached to an asset.

 

       Bright Idea: 

Runtime is determined differently on the Asset Downtime dashboard and the Meter Readings dashboard:

  • On the Asset Downtime dashboard, Runtime is equal to the time since an asset was purchased or added to the system, assuming the asset runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • On the Meter Readings dashboard, Runtime is determined using the meter readings that belong to the meter titles on an asset.

  • In both of these views, Uptime is then derived by subtracting Downtime from Runtime.

Overview

Displays the total number of completed downtime work orders, the sum of downtime, the total of mean time to repair (MTTR), and the total of mean time between failures (MTBF).

 

Asset Overview

Displays the number of completed downtime work orders by asset, problem, and cause, as well as the total cost of all downtime work orders per asset.

 

Downtime Overview

Displays the amount of downtime on completed work orders by cause, asset and problem.

 

 

The chart also displays the amount of downtime on completed work orders by request year, month, week, and day.

 

  • After selecting the Time tab at the top of the chart, you will see the data broken down by Request Year.
  • To drill down further to see the months, weeks, and days for a specific year, click on the appropriate year's bar in the chart.
  • Click the green checkmark to confirm your selection.
  • The graph will refresh and now be broken down by the months within that year.
  • You can continue to click on specific months, weeks, and days on the chart to drill the chart down even further.
  • To go back to a previous selection, click the appropriate 'Request' link () in the x-axis depending on how far you want to drill back. For example, if you have drilled down to show each month within the year 2019, and you want to go back to just showing each request year, then you would click Request Year in the x-axis label.

 

 

Asset Downtime Details

Displays a table with asset downtime details including the number of downtime work orders and the amount of downtime per asset.

 

 

This dashboard gives a detailed view of meter reading data showing asset downtime and uptime which can help you identify problem assets.

 

       Bright Idea: 

Runtime is determined differently on the Asset Downtime dashboard and the Meter Readings dashboard:

  • On the Asset Downtime dashboard, Runtime is equal to the time since an asset was purchased or added to the system, assuming the asset runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • On the Meter Readings dashboard, Runtime is determined using the meter readings that belong to the meter titles on an asset.

  • In both of these views, Uptime is then derived by subtracting Downtime from Runtime.

Meter Reading Summary

Displays a table with asset details including the number of meter readings and number of downtime work orders per asset.

 

 

This dashboard helps you gain insight into the health of your assets based on meter reading trends over time. The filters on the left side of the dashboard allow for the selection of different Asset Categories, Asset Names and Numbers, Meter Names and Numbers, Years, and Months. *Note: Machine Health Summary data is only available for clients with meter readings in Asset Essentials. Learn more about entering Meter Reading data in Asset Essentials.

Meter Value Read by Date Read

Select a Meter (Meter Name and/or Meter Number) and an Asset (Asset Name and/or Asset Number) in the filter section in order for the graph to populate. This line graph contains four trendlines:

  • Value Read - represents the meter readings at different points in time.

  • Minimum Threshold - represents the user-defined minimum threshold for the selected meter.

  • Maximum Threshold - represents the user-defined maximum threshold for the selected meter.

  • Linear Trendline - appears as a dashed line on the chart and represents the best-fit regression line.

 

The slope, or incline, of the linear trendline is used to highlight meters that may be steadily approaching the minimum or maximum thresholds. For example, a linear trendline may reveal an increasing trend over time, whereas on a day by day basis, it may be difficult to see that values are steadily increasing.

 

The points on the line graph can be used to easily see when the meter reading is outside the set minimum or maximum thresholds. For example, if a meter measures the temperature of a certain asset, and the meter reading temperature value is above the threshold maximum during a certain time period, further investigation into the related work orders during that time period may help uncover if the asset was functioning optimally or needed a repair. Meter reading values that fall outside of the set thresholds, especially at an increasing rate, may also be a helpful leading indicator that an asset could be about to fail, and some preventive maintenance may be beneficial.

 

The linear trendline is derived by minimizing the sum of squared errors, or essentially minimizing the distance between the trendline and each actual value. The trendline is fit using the linear regression equation, y = mx + b.

 

Meter Reading Details

This table provides the raw data for the information displayed in the line graph. It displays several columns, including Asset Number, Asset Name, Meter Title Name, Date Read, Value Read, Threshold Min. and Threshold Max, as well as a color-coded status indicator. The average and standard deviation of the selected meter’s readings are also calculated and shown at the end of this table.

 

The Meter Title Name is color coded as either red, yellow, or green. The color of the meter title reflects the relationship between the meter readings and the user-defined thresholds.

  • Red : The meter readings have exceeded the minimum or maximum thresholds in the past 365 days.

  • Yellow : The meter readings have not exceeded the minimum and maximum thresholds but the slope of the linear trendline is either greater than 0.5 or less than -0.5, indicating that there is either a steep increase or steep decrease, respectively. This helps to highlight assets that may be steadily approaching either the minimum or maximum thresholds.

  • Green : The meter readings are relatively stable. The values have not exceeded the minimum and maximum thresholds and the slope of the linear trendline is between -0.5 and 0.5, meaning the trendline is not too steep.

 

  • The Average Value Read for Meter column calculates the average value for the meter over all time. This can be used to compare individual meter readings to the overall average, especially the most recent readings.

  • The Standard Deviation Value Read for Meter column calculates the standard deviation of the values read for the meter over all time. The standard deviation represents the amount of dispersion in a set of values. This statistic gives an estimate for how far individual meter reading values tend to be from the average meter reading value. Higher standard deviations indicate that the meter reading values tend to be more spread out, which could be useful in anticipating meters that may exceed threshold values. It is also worth noting that standard deviation tends to be more sensitive to outliers, or large spikes in the meter reading data, which could be used to highlight meters that have had significant spikes and need attention, even if they have not exceeded the user-defined thresholds.

 

Work Order Details

This table displays all the work orders related to the selected meter and includes the date created, date completed, description of the work, and whether the work order was a PM work order or a non-PM work order. This data gives you the ability to assess the amount of maintenance associated with an asset in light of the status of its associated meters. For example, assets that have meters that are in either red or yellow status may benefit from additional or more frequent preventive maintenance. You also have the ability to see if a preventive maintenance schedule was created in response to a meter exceeding one of the user-defined thresholds, based on the date of the meter reading and the date of the work order.

It makes it easier to identify commonly failed tasks or tasks that are fixed frequently. Identifying these tasks can help your organization make data informed decisions to alter maintenance schedules or consider replacement of asset components for better performance and longevity.

Task KPIs

These key performance indicators provide a snapshot of the current trends associated with your organization’s tasks.

  • Organization Fail %: This KPI shows the percentage of failed tasks across all work orders. This KPI is static, even if specific work orders are selected. It can serve as a comparison to the failure percentage of a specific work order by selecting one work order and looking at the KPI directly below. This KPI will update if other filters are selected, such as site, asset, or a date range. *Note: This KPI only considers Pass/Fail Tasks.

  • % Failed on PM: This KPI shows the percentage of failed tasks across all PM work orders. This KPI is also static, even if specific work orders are selected. It will update though if other segments are selected, like site, asset, or a specific date range. *Note: This KPI only considers Pass/Fail Tasks.

  • % Failed: This KPI shows the percentage of failed tasks for any selected work orders. If no work orders are selected, it will display the percentage of failed tasks for all work orders and will match the KPI above. *Note: This KPI only considers Pass/Fail tasks.
