Improving Schedule Compliance with Spartakus APM V.6

In industrial maintenance, schedule compliance is crucial for tracking whether planned maintenance activities are carried out as scheduled. Tracking adherence over time helps maintenance teams identify inefficiencies, adjust their strategies, and continuously improve operations.

In our latest update, we have integrated a new Scheduling Adherence Module designed to provide maintenance teams with greater visibility into scheduling compliance, helping them make informed decisions and enhance reliability.

Understanding Scheduling Adherence

Scheduling adherence measures how closely maintenance teams follow their planned maintenance schedules. It is a key performance indicator (KPI) that helps industrial plants assess their operational efficiency and identify areas for improvement.

Spartakus APM tracks two primary metrics:

• Adherence Percentage – The proportion of maintenance tasks completed on time.
• Average Delay – The average time by which maintenance tasks are delayed beyond their scheduled completion.

How Schedule Compliance is Calculated in Spartakus APM

The Lateness & Compliance Dashboard helps track how well scheduled tasks are completed on time. It measures two key metrics:

• Compliance – How closely each route follows its planned schedule.
• Lateness – How much routes deviate from their scheduled times.

With both real-time and historical data, this tool helps teams spot issues, adjust schedules, and improve efficiency.

Key Features of the New Scheduling Adherence Module

1. Tracking Adherence Over Time

Users can monitor adherence trends, enabling them to assess performance improvements and adjust strategies as needed.

2. Delay Monitoring

This feature helps maintenance teams measure delays and implement corrective actions to improve scheduling efficiency.

3. Filtering Capabilities

Users can filter adherence data at multiple levels, including:

• Plant-wide view
• Sector-specific insights
• Route-level adherence
• Task-specific compliance

4. Route Log Availability

The system provides a detailed history of maintenance route execution, allowing teams to analyze past performance and identify trends that impact scheduling efficiency.

Customizable Scheduling Methods

Spartakus APM offers two scheduling methods to provide flexibility in how adherence is measured and optimized:

• Fixed Scheduling: Maintenance tasks are planned at consistent intervals (e.g., every monday), regardless of any delays in execution.
• Dynamic Scheduling: Maintenance tasks are planned at regular intervals and adjusted based on any delays or setbacks in execution (e.g., every 7 days).

Both methods impact adherence calculations differently, and detailed explanations are available in our Confluence documentation for clients who want deeper insights into their scheduling strategies.

How to Access Your Schedule Compliance in Spartakus APM

Step 1: Navigate to the Schedule Compliance Section

• Once logged in, locate the “Schedule Compliance” section under the Route management menu.
• Click on it to open the Schedule Compliance.

Step 2: Analyze Your Data

• Review your compliance metrics.
• Use the available filters and charts to refine the data based on specific assets, time periods, or work types.

This section displays the site compliance. To view more detailed compliance data, scroll down to the route compliance section.

From this point, you can go in every route to see the details about its compliance.

How Compliance is Calculated

Average compliance is measured over time using two methods:

1. Equal weight per route:

Example: If Route A is 50% compliant and Route B is 70%, the average compliance is 60%.

2. Weighted by task count:

Example: If Route A (1 task) is 50% compliant and Route B (2 tasks) is 70%, the weighted average compliance is 66%.

How Lateness is Calculated

Similarly, lateness is measured in two ways:

1. Equal weight per route:

Example: If Route A is 2 days late and Route B is 10 days late, the average lateness is 6 days.

2. Weighted by task count:

Example: With the same routes and tasks as above, the weighted lateness is 7.33 days.

Conclusion

Spartakus APM remains committed to delivering solutions that empower maintenance teams. The new Scheduling Adherence Module provides the tools needed to track and optimize your maintenance schedules

We encourage our users to explore this new feature and leverage its capabilities to drive better maintenance outcomes. For more details, visit our confluence page or reach out to our support team.
