Calculating schedule compliance with a cron task

You can set up a cron task to calculate schedule compliance automatically, at predefined intervals.

About this task

The schedule compliance factor measures adherence to the maintenance schedule, measuring the effectiveness of the work scheduling process. You can measure compliance on a weekly, monthly, or any user-defined basis. The schedule compliance factor is a percentage. It is derived by dividing the actual hours spent on work planned at the beginning of the time period, by the total planned work hours. For example, if the week starts on Monday, the compliance factor reflects work that is scheduled for that week as of Monday morning. The schedule compliance factor does not factor in unplanned work that was scheduled and performed during the time period.

Procedure

  1. In the Scheduler application, open the schedule that you want to evaluate.
  2. Click the Compliance tab. Enter the length of time for which you want the schedule compliance calculated in the duration fields.
  3. Select the Cron Active check box to activate the cron task.
  4. Define the frequency with which you want the schedule compliance calculation to run in the Schedule Frequency field.
  5. Save the record.

Example

For example, you want to calculate the schedule compliance factor every week, from Monday to Friday. Enter the start date in the Schedule Compliance Start field. Enter 5 in the Duration field, and select Days in the Duration Units field. In the Schedule Frequency field, select every 1 week, on Monday at 8:00 AM. Click OK.
