Measurement
Knowing whether it works
The small set of measures that show whether the programme works, the ones that mislead, and how to report to people who control the budget.
Reference
A small set that shows whether the programme works, and the larger set that looks impressive on a dashboard and drives the wrong behaviour.
Response, Resolution and Repair Time
Analysis
Three clocks that vendors conflate. Which to measure, and how a definition lets a three-day outage report as a four-hour response.
Cost Per Asset and Cost Per Site
Procedure
The two views that turn a pile of invoices into decisions: which equipment to replace, and which sites and vendors need attention.
Spotting a Failing Asset Before It Fails
Procedure
Equipment gives warning. The signals sit in temperature logs, energy bills and work order history, and none of them needs sensors.
Reporting to Owners, Boards and Franchisors
Procedure
Maintenance reporting fails by being either an activity log nobody reads or a single alarming number. What to put in front of people who control the budget.
