What this term means in maintenance

A maintenance report is a structured presentation of maintenance work, asset condition, performance, cost, compliance, or exceptions for a defined period or scope.

Common maintenance reports

Examples include:

  • Maintenance logbook
  • Open work orders
  • Completed work
  • Overdue PM
  • Asset history
  • Breakdown analysis
  • Downtime
  • Labor
  • Parts usage
  • Calibration status
  • Audit evidence

Practical example

A monthly report shows breakdown hours, PM compliance, critical backlog, repeat failures, maintenance cost, and major actions.

Report definition

Each report should define the date basis, included statuses, filters, calculations, and data source.

Operational and management reports

Operational reports help users act on records. Management reports summarize trends and exceptions.

Common mistake

Changing report rules without documenting them makes month-to-month comparison unreliable.
