Two real PM Efficiency Audits

Two Australian sites running two different CMMS platforms. Because those platforms measure different things, we compare only what is genuinely comparable — overdue exposure, overdue ageing and the overall health index. Real anonymised client data.

Copper mine, NSW

SAP PM · 15 work centres · 271,767 call items

AT RISK · 34/100

Overdue exposure

5.2%

Mean age of overdue work

334 days

Overall health index

34 — Grade E

14,261 overdue items, the oldest sitting 3,908 days past due. Roughly half a year of planned volume is already behind, and the ageing shows it has been accumulating for a decade.

Gold mine, NSW

Pronto Xi · site-wide · 1,004 scheduled tasks

HEALTHY · 85/100

Overdue exposure

1.9%

Mean age of overdue work

210 days

Overall health index

85 — Grade A

19 overdue tasks across the whole site, and a schedule that is 98.1% current. The remaining exposure is old rather than large — a short, finishable list, not a backlog.

Why on-time compliance is not shown here: the SAP export covers completed work order history, while the Pronto export is a schedule snapshot that cannot show execution quality over time. The copper mine’s 40.7% on-time compliance has no equivalent figure in the gold mine data, so putting the two side by side would be misleading. Sites and system identifiers anonymised; all figures taken unchanged from the delivered reports.

How it works

Three steps. No disruption. No system access.

1

Export your data

Run a standard work order report from your CMMS — SAP, Maximo, Pronto, or anything that exports to spreadsheet.

2

We analyse

We compare it against real industry benchmarks, drawn from 30+ years of hands-on CMMS analysis across mining and heavy industry.

3

Get your scorecard

Five key metrics rated, explained, and ready to act on — back in 1–2 business days. More on the audit.

Cover the gap, or deliver the project.

Whether you're short a planner or facing a shutdown you can't resource, we step in with the same discipline — and hand back a system that's in better shape than we found it. Planning support is easy to buy and hard to measure, so every engagement is built around things you can actually see.

Keep the schedule moving with a seat empty

Projects and shutdowns, planned end to end

When people call us

Planning support is rarely planned. These are the four situations we’re usually called into.

The planner has resigned and recruitment is going slowly

The schedule is the first thing to slip, and it slips quietly. Weekly plans get thinner, work orders go out without materials confirmed, and PM compliance drops a few points a month. We take the seat so the backlog doesn’t turn into a project of its own.

Your planner is on extended leave

Cover that doesn’t cost you ground. We run the weekly rhythm your team already knows, in your CMMS, to your standards — and hand back a clean, documented position when they return.

There’s a shutdown coming and no one to plan it

Scope, work packaging, critical path, materials and contractor readiness. We plan it, and we stay through execution so the plan survives contact with the site.

The backlog has got away from you

Sometimes there’s a planner in the seat and the backlog is still growing. If you’re not sure why, a free PM Efficiency Audit will usually show you. Then we come in alongside your planner, clear the aged work, fix what’s causing the build-up, and leave behind the routine that keeps it down.

How an engagement runs

1. Tell us the gap

Your site, your CMMS, what’s slipping, and when you need someone. A short call is usually enough.

2. Scope and fixed price within two business days

In writing: what we cover, what stays with you, roughly how long, and what it costs. No open-ended meter. No minimum term and no lock-in.

3. Access and induction

Planner-level access to your CMMS, plus site induction if we’re attending in person. We work in your system, not a copy of it. We also need one point of contact on site who can call priority.

4. First fortnight — stabilise before changing anything

We run your existing rhythm first. You can’t fix a planning process you haven’t watched operate, and a new planner changing the routine in week one is how sites lose confidence in the seat.

5. Handover

A documented position, so your returning planner or new hire inherits a system rather than a mess. This is the part most interim cover skips.

Get started

Cover the planner gap

Tell us your site and where you're short — an empty planner seat or a shutdown you can't resource — and we'll come back with how we'd cover it, usually within two business days.

Common questions

The questions we get asked most. More on our FAQ page.

What is a PM Efficiency Audit?

It is a free benchmark of how well your preventive maintenance is actually being executed. We take a standard work-order export from your CMMS, score it against five key metrics, compare each one to real industry benchmarks, and return a scorecard that says in plain English where your maintenance system is strong and where it is quietly losing ground. It takes 1 to 2 business days and there is no obligation to go any further.

Do you need access to our CMMS?

No. We never log into your system. All we need is a standard work-order report exported to a spreadsheet, the kind most planners can run in a few minutes. That keeps IT approvals, security reviews and vendor sign-offs out of the picture entirely.

Is the audit really free? What is the catch?

There is no catch and no lock-in at any tier. The audit is free because it is the fastest honest way to show whether you have a problem worth paying to fix. If the numbers come back healthy, we will tell you that and you owe us nothing.

How quickly can you start?

Tell us the site and where you are short and we will come back with how we would cover it, usually within two business days. Actual start dates depend on scope, site access and inductions.

Can you work remotely, or do you need to be on site?

Both, depending on the work. Backlog management, scheduling and CMMS discipline are done remotely for most clients. Shutdown planning and execution support usually need someone on the ground for at least part of the event. We’ll say which your engagement needs when we scope it.
