PPM Visit Timeliness


Concise PPM PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT reporting for your customers.

The “visit timeliness” refers to the condensing of each visit so that similar tasks on similar assets are grouped into one “status”. Statuses are COMPLETED ON-TIME, COMPLETED LATE, OVERDUE and PLANNED. Visits can be reviewed by building or site – for instance a visit to perform a Quarterly Inspection on 4 boilers at the same site on the same day, would be measured as 1 item.

In the software screenshot, each coloured square indicator shows the timeliness for as task performed upon multiple assets. The green squares show the visit was completed on time, dark green shows visits completed late, red squares are for overdue tasks, and orange a planned.

PPM Job Compression

Simplify PPM Job Paperwork and Updates. If you are required to keep a per asset job history, PPM jobs can still be compressed such that all tasks of the same type, for the same building and on the same day are grouped together. No additional data is required to use this mechanism. When such jobs are updated, records for all assets in the group are updated.

PPM INHERITANCE

New assets to inherit the PPM tasks of similar existing assets. After adding new assets, a single click per asset invokes a mechanism whereby you set a start date and contractor, and the software generates tasks for the asset automatically. The process works by inheriting PPM Tasks from other similar assets, and the graphic indicators for the PPM Task Dates can be seen immediately.

PPM Documents

Track Asset details using your own Documents. If you group assets together for simplification, such as an example PPM Task being “Quarterly check on all fire extinguishers in the building”, additional details can be kept in documents such as Excel spreadsheets, which are tied to the PPM Task, and can be opened with a single click. PPM Documents also form part of the Customer Document Management mechanisms.

Smartphone Real-time Job Updates

Service Providers remotely indicate Response and Completion in Real Time. Using FastTrack Mobile for Smartphone, service providers receive work instructions and perform updates on their iPhones, Blackberries and Android Smartphones. This means accurate LIVE data, less time in the office, and less work for back-office staff. Customer completion signatures can also be captured.

Semi-automatic PPM Plan Generation

Simply assign our ASSET TYPES to your ASSET REGISTER and FastTrack PPM will generate the PPM Plan. Based on a known range of building asset types, FMDirect can provide the PPM Processes necessary to carry out planned maintenance.

The PPM Processes are associated with asset types, which are then assigned to your assets. The last step is to provide a PPM cycle start date and default service provider for each asset, and then FastTrack PPM will co-ordinate all the data and generate a full PPM Plan, including forecasted PPM Task Dates.

Job Completion by Smartphone


A ”one-touch job completion” by engineers on site, has long been an aim for resource-sensitive service providers. One of the problems has been the cost of PDA’s, and the fact that they become obsolete quite quickly. Operating system rationalisation in the Smartphone world now means that mainstream apps can be provided for almost all Smartphones.

Fast Track Mobile from FMDirect complements existing Windows and Web solutions, to provide a low-cost solution for mobile staff. Engineers receive new jobs as soon as they are issued, and job status changes (such as Responded To and Completed) can be achieved with a click of a finger (or thumb!). If the Smartphone has a draw capability, such as with a touch screen or stylus, end user customers can also SIGN the job there and then.

Fast Track Mobile works with iPhone, Blackberry and Android (contact FMDirect for version details), and works with Wifi and Internet connections, and also when no connection is available.
