The Non-Repeating vs. Repeating report shows how many of the work orders created in the date range are on a repeating schedule, and how many are one-time tasks.

Repeating work orders are associated with preventive maintenance, and related increases in efficiency. A Repeating Ratio of about 80% is a good goal to aim for.

note

The target Repeating Ratio varies by industry. It’s normal to see more non-repeating work orders and a lower Repeating Ratio in industries with higher rates of reactive maintenance. For example, facilities management or hospitality.

How to Read This Report​

In the Reporting Details tab:

  • Group the results by Asset to see which assets get an unusually high number of non-repeating work orders. You can investigate further to learn why those assets are breaking down, and decide whether you want to continue to maintain them.

    info

    Organizations on an Enterprise plan have access to Asset Health reports, which provide a much more detailed view of asset status, and help identify problematic assets more accurately.

  • Group the results by Location to see which locations get the most non-repeating work orders. A high number of non-repeating work orders for a location could indicate problems that need investigation.
