Recommended Reports

The valuable information in your PMDirect schedules and PM work orders can be accessed in various reports in both PMDirect and MaintenanceDirect. Below are a few recommended reports from both products that show the success of your preventive maintenance program.

Equipment Expenditures Summary

  • What it does - Generates a "corrective maintenance" vs. "preventive maintenance" comparison of labor hours, labor and material costs, and total costs associated to equipment tracked in MaintenanceDirect and PMDirect. *Note: Equipment has to be tied to PM Schedules and transactions have to be associated to work orders in order to create this report.

  • Why it's great - This is an excellent report to run to help compare and analyze the amount of time and money invested in each piece of equipment for corrective maintenance vs. preventive maintenance. This report can be used to help determine when it might be more cost effective to replace a unit versus continuing to invest resources into repairs.

  • Where to find it -

    • In MaintenanceDirect, click on Report in the Actions menu, and then click on Equipment.

    • Enter the criteria for your report, making sure to select Summary Report - Maintenance Costs versus Preventive Maintenance Costs in Step 13.

 

PM Calendar

  • What it does - Allows you to view and print a PDF snapshot of upcoming PM schedules. The calendar can be filtered by the month and year as well as the Location, Classification, Type, Craft, and Assigned To fields.

  • Why it's great - The PM Calendar is a great way to quickly and easily view upcoming PMs scheduled for your organization. This could be very helpful when planning your resources.
