Real-time dashboard updates on maintenance KPIs

Purpose

1. Ensure stakeholders receive instant insights into fleet status, defects, work orders, turnaround times, and compliance metrics.

2. Automate data extraction from various maintenance, inventory, and scheduling systems to centralize reporting.

3. Eliminate manual report compilation, reduce data latency, and increase data fidelity for operational decisions.

4. Provide real-time visualization of key performance indicators (KPI) relevant to maintenance productivity, safety compliance, asset utilization, and workflow efficiency.

Trigger Conditions

1. New maintenance logs or defect reports entered into the system.

2. Updates or closures of work orders by technicians.

3. Status changes in inventory levels or part requests.

4. Scheduled time-based triggers (e.g., every minute, hourly, shift change).

5. Threshold breaches on customizable KPIs (e.g., excessive turnaround times, safety violations).
