Benchmarking Reports: These reports for an individual process or manufacturing facility may be meaningless, however,
when compared to other plants in similar industry, they can show a requirement for improvement.
Optimisation Reports: These reports differ from Performance reports as these are used to manipulate the data that drives the
maintenance system. They are designed to assist in optimising the maintenance processes for changes in business
requirements. Included in these reports are those that are used to increase the accuracy of current data (often in conjunction
with a manual review).
Data Integrity Reports: These reports are used to judge the quality of data being captured. Information found in the
performance reports may only be considered accurate if the system is being used in a manner that ensures the data is reliable.
These reports point to not only whether data is being captured completely (according to business requirements), but also to
assure that accurate data is being recorded (not just defaults etc.).
