Work Order Completion Rate at 99% schedule compliance target: a worked example

Push schedule compliance target up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it in weekly scheduling meetings to see whether the plan is realistic and whether execution discipline is holding.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Completed on-time work orders: 184 work orders (unchanged)
  • Scheduled work orders: 210 work orders (unchanged)
  • Schedule compliance target: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Work-order completion rate = completed on-time work orders ÷ scheduled work orders × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 87.62 % for work-order completion rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 11.38 points for gap to schedule target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 184 count for completed on-time work orders.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 count for scheduled work orders.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where schedule compliance target sits at 95% and the headline result is 87.62 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 87.62 %.
  • It computes the percentage of scheduled work orders completed on time and the point gap between that result and your schedule compliance target. 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

  • Work-Order Completion Rate: 87.62 % (headline result)
