Maximo v6 - Getting Started Guide

Reporting and Analysis

Overview
Reports allow Maximo users to view historical or transactional data for the enterprise within specified parameters. Sample
records include Asset History, Inventory Transaction List and Audit Trail Tracking.

Key Performace Indicators (KPIs)

A KPI measures activity in support of an established goal or result. KPIs:
- Are real-time snapshots of a business or organization based on pre-defined measures
- Apply to activities, functions and practices critical to a business success
- Compare current performance to previous performance or established goals
- Can be displayed directly on your Start Center.
KPIs allow people if varying roles within organizations to:
- Quantify and document strategic goals and objectives
- Used to determine how assets are performing compared to goals and objectives
- Help to increase focus on priority goals and objectives
- Assist in unification and identification of priorities throughout the organization

Reporting Module
Maximo has a Reporting module that allows users to maintain reports and KPIs. In the Reporting module, Maximo
provides the KPI Manager application, which helps users create needed KPIs. Maximo permits users to add KPIs to their
Start Centers, thereby allowing them to more easily monitor key performance indicators against performance goals.

The KPI Manager application provides a Historical Trends tab that provides a history of the KPI both graphically and in a
tabular format.

The Reporting module also contains the Report Administration application, which can be used to preview a request page,
add parameters to a report, display the report as a toolbar icon, delete a report, and attach documents to a report.
