PM Compliance Rate at 68% pm compliance target: a worked example

Suppose pm compliance target falls to 68%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Measure the percentage of scheduled PM work orders completed on time and compare it with the site target.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Preventive maintenance work orders closed on schedule: 462 PMs (held at the documented default)
  • Preventive maintenance work orders scheduled in the period: 500 PMs (held at the documented default)
  • PM compliance target (schedule attainment goal): 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: PM compliance rate = completed PMs on time ÷ scheduled PMs × 100.
  • PM Compliance Rate works out to 92.4 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gap to PM Target works out to -24.4 points at these inputs.
  • Completed PMs on Time works out to 462 count at these inputs.
  • Scheduled PMs works out to 500 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where pm compliance target sits at 95% and the headline result is 92.4 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 92.4 %.
  • It computes the percentage of scheduled PM work orders completed on time and the point gap to your compliance target. 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

  • PM Compliance Rate: 92.4 % (headline result)
  • Gap to PM Target: -24.4 points
  • Completed PMs on Time: 462 count
  • Scheduled PMs: 500 count
