Planned Maintenance Compliance at 99% target pm compliance: a worked example

Push target pm compliance up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a maintenance or asset-management team needs to see whether assets are receiving planned care before overdue PMs become failures or audit findings for a PM compliance period

The inputs for this scenario

  • PM work orders completed on time: 438 count (unchanged)
  • PM work orders due in the period: 480 count (unchanged)
  • Target PM compliance: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 90)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Planned Maintenance Compliance rate = PM work orders completed on time ÷ PM work orders due × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 91.25 % for planned maintenance compliance rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 7.75 points for planned maintenance compliance gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 438 count for pm work orders completed on time.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 480 count for pm work orders due.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target pm compliance sits at 90% and the headline result is 91.25 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 91.25 %.
  • It divides PM work orders completed on time by PM work orders due, multiplies by 100 to get the compliance rate, and subtracts your target to report the gap in percentage points. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Planned Maintenance Compliance rate: 91.25 % (headline result)
