CMMS Diagnostic
Find out where your PM system is wasting engineering time.
The CMMS Diagnostic reviews your maintenance data, identifies non-value PM activity and reliability exposure, then gives you a practical improvement plan within 10 working days.
Engagement type
Focused review
Clear inputs, defined outputs, and no open-ended consultancy drift.
Delivery time
10 days
Working days from receipt of CMMS data export.
On-site time
0 days
Optional. Diagnostic runs from data you already have.
What we need from you
Inputs
- CMMS export (asset register, PM list, work order history)
- Asset list with current criticality if available
- PM history for the last 12-24 months
- Downtime and backlog data, if you have it (helpful, not blocking)
If you cannot easily extract any of the above, we will work with your CMMS administrator to get a clean export. SAP PM, Maximo, MEX, Pirana, Mainpac, Shire, Limble — all common platforms supported.
What you receive
Outputs
- Diagnostic report — short, evidence-led, written for a Site Leadership Team
- Key metrics: PM workload, planned/reactive ratio, backlog profile
- Risk areas: assets without PM coverage, PMs without failure-mode logic
- Quick-win improvement plan with effort estimate
- Recommended next steps and suitable engagement option
Diagnostic outputs
What the report shows.
Output 01
Planned vs reactive
Engineering hours split by work order type. Benchmarked against typical FMCG and process targets.
Output 02
Backlog profile
Open work orders by age, asset, and criticality. Highlights backlog that is silently driving reactive load.
Output 03
Downtime by asset
Where downtime is concentrated, where PM coverage is missing, and where PM is over-applied to non-critical assets.
Output 04
Engineering hours by category
PM, reactive, project, improvement. Shows how much capacity is locked up in low-value PM activity.
Output 05
PM duplication & non-value indicators
Tasks duplicated across PMs, OEM check sheets copied without logic, calendar PMs without runtime trigger.
Output 06
Worst-performing assets
Top 10 by failure frequency, downtime impact, and reactive hours. Cross-checked with PM coverage.
Output 07
Improvement priority list
Ordered by recoverable engineering hours, downtime risk, and effort. The basis for deciding what to do next.
Reassurance
No major project, system replacement, or weeks of engineering workshops. The diagnostic starts with the data already in your maintenance system and the people already running it. If the findings do not justify a programme, we will tell you that plainly.
