Self-Assessment

How to evaluate your districts’ usage of Maintenance Direct

Analysis of the FIMS Maintenance Direct module is broken down into three specific stages, Implementation, Execution and Data Analysis. These stages all identify tasks that the district must accomplish to attain a score of one (1.0) per stage. Therefore, Maintenance Direct has a maximum score of three (3.0) in ¼ or ½ point increments. The explanation of each stage is defined and the methodology to extract this information from your districts’ Maintenance Direct account is explained in the text that follows.

Level 1.0 - Implementation Stage

Once printed, you can strategize with each individual of your staff on how to capture the costs of Work Orders in this report. You may also need to restructure your maintenance process regarding Purchase Requisitions to capture all costs, whichinclude Labor, Materials, and Contractor costs.

If there are very few or no Work Orders in this report then you are capturing Labor, Materials (.25) and possibly Contractor (.25) costs but this must be verified by running a Transaction Report. If your district is capturing all costs then your Total Score is 2.0 to this point.

MD Level 2 (Execution Stage) cont. :

Transaction Report:

The Transactions Report in the Advanced Search allows a user to see the type of expenditures being captured in the work orders. A separate search for each Transaction Type (Labor, Materials, and Contractor)should be pulled from the system.

Transaction Report:

  • Click on Advanced Search
  • Click on Transaction Search in the Advanced Search Shortcuts
  • Select Transaction Type (Labor)
  • Multi-select Status of Complete and Closed
  • Leave all other Boxes to Include All
  • Go to the Transaction Date Boxes and populate with the date period you would like analyze.
  • Click the Search Now Button

This Report shows all Work Orders which have a Labor Transaction associated with them. Document the number of Records in this report –Click the Home tab and look at the number of Records in the Complete and Closed Status in the MD pie. All non-contract work orders should have at least one Labor Transaction (1: 1 ratio)associated with them. With this said you can now populate the following formula with the information captured. This formula will give you the

Efficiency of your district capturing Labor Costs on the Work Orders=

Total # of Records from Labor Transaction Report

Total # of Records Closed and Complete (MD pie)

Example: 780 Records from Labor Transaction Report =.8236 or 82%

947 Records Closed and Complete (MD pie)

You can run this same report for Materials or Contract Services by selecting them in the Transaction Type, however; there is not a 1:1 ratio for this type of Transaction and you will need to review the Reports to see if all Materials and Contract Costs are documented. Only by capturing all Maintenance Expenditures can a district fully understand where their resources are being expended.

We are recommending the listed Meaningful Maintenance Measurements (M3)as a starting point, but whichever measures are used requires the District’s Maintenance Leadership to create a dialogue with PSFA Maintenance which builds a working relationship to enhance and Benchmark best practices utilized at other districts.
