This module is only available in the MaintainXยฎ web application. Access to specific features depends on your MaintainX plan.

You can use the Reporting module to:

  • Track maintenance performance (MTTR, MTBF, on-time completion).
  • Identify asset reliability issues and downtime.
  • Understand labor usage, costs, and workload distribution.
  • Share insights with stakeholders via dashboards and exports.

Reporting Walkthroughโ€‹

Reporting is organized into tabs with specific options that give you access to a quick overview of your organization's performance and the tools you need to create more in-depth analysis.

MaintainX gives you access to different work order reports, each focusing on specific metrics. The Work Orders tab provides performance metrics related to work execution, including:

  • Work order completion rates.
  • MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) - average time to get an asset back online after a failure.
  • MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) - average time assets are operational before they need repair.
  • On-time performance - percentage of work orders completed by due date.
  • Labor hours and workload distribution.

For details, see About Work Order Reports.

Asset Healthโ€‹

The Asset Health tab gives you availability and reliability metrics based on asset status transitions (Online/Offline) to calculate:

  • Downtime and performance trends.
  • Availability - percentage of time an asset is operational.
  • Reliability trends.
