Planned Maintenance Compliance at 65% target pm compliance: a worked example

Suppose target pm compliance falls to 65%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Measure PM compliance by comparing preventive maintenance work completed on time with the total PM work due in the reporting period.

The inputs for this scenario

  • PM work orders completed on time: 438 count (held at the documented default)
  • PM work orders due in the period: 480 count (held at the documented default)
  • Target PM compliance: 65 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 90)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Planned Maintenance Compliance rate = PM work orders completed on time ÷ PM work orders due × 100.
  • Planned Maintenance Compliance rate works out to 91.25 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Planned Maintenance Compliance gap to target works out to -26.25 points at these inputs.
  • PM work orders completed on time works out to 438 count at these inputs.
  • PM work orders due works out to 480 count at these inputs.

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. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Planned Maintenance Compliance rate: 91.25 % (headline result)
  • Planned Maintenance Compliance gap to target: -26.25 points
  • PM work orders completed on time: 438 count
  • PM work orders due: 480 count
