Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Downtime & Cost Reporting

Get answers to the most frequently asked questions about implementing and optimizing downtime and cost reports

Downtime reports automatically correlate equipment failures with parts availability in your inventory system. This integration helps identify stockout situations that cause extended downtime, optimize reorder points based on failure patterns, and ensure critical spare parts are always available when needed.

Essential KPIs include: Cost per Mile/Hour for each vehicle, Maintenance Cost as % of Asset Value, Emergency vs Planned Maintenance Ratio, Parts Inventory Turnover Rate, Labor Efficiency (Wrench Time %), and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by asset class. These metrics provide comprehensive visibility into maintenance economics and support budget variance tracking.

Reduce unplanned downtime by implementing predictive maintenance schedules based on failure data, maintaining optimal spare parts inventory levels, training operators on early warning signs, establishing quick response protocols, and using real-time monitoring to catch issues before they cause breakdowns. Most fleets see 40-60% reduction in unplanned events.

Reports pull data from multiple sources including: CMMS work orders and maintenance schedules using standardized templates, inventory management systems for parts usage, telematics for equipment operating hours and location, financial systems for cost tracking, time clock systems for labor hours, and vendor invoices for external service costs.

Review frequency depends on your operation: Daily monitoring for critical equipment and high-value assets, weekly reviews for trend analysis and corrective actions, monthly deep dives for budget tracking and variance analysis, and quarterly strategic reviews for process improvements and capital planning decisions.
