Monitor imaging asset fleet service quality

Learn how to monitor imaging equipment fleet service quality and responsiveness in the Business Review dashboard business review report.

The Business Review dashboard report provides metrics on asset distribution and service metrics to support inventory planning and periodic reviews[ regional availability]. It provides data on equipment with current by GE contract or warranty coverage.

This Business review report is intended for Account Executives responsible for asset performance metrics.

The information in this report is useful for visualizing the distribution and availability of imaging assets as well as the responsiveness of service providers. You can use the report to plan your inventory investments, ensure equipment meets performance specifications, and monitor conformance to service agreements.

This topic explains the data presented in the generated report:

Sample Business Review dashboard report

Note: The data displayed in this report pertains to the currently loaded facility group.

Data definition

The report contains the following tabs:
Inventory

Inventory Management. This tab, which the report opens to, provides a high-level overview of the geographic location of your assets, which you can filter by contract, country, modality, and age. You can use this information to plan your inventory investments. For details of the labels in this section of the report, Consult the iCenter data dictionary.

Sample Inventory tab

Data label Data definition
Where are my assets? A map that shows countries for which equipment data is available based on the values in the selected filters (for details, see section Report filters).

View the number of imaging assets in each country. The number of assets appears on the map and on each of the distribution filters on the right.

Click a country to highlight it in this map and to display data only for that country in the chart below. CTRL+click multiple countries to highlight and display only their data. Click elsewhere in the chart to display all data again.

Hover the mouse pointer over a specific country to identify the country name and the number of imaging assets there:
<Country code> has <x>
Asset list A Summary table that lists for the selected countries the following asset details:
  • Facility
  • City
  • Asset
  • ID
  • Year installed
  • Age (yrs)
Uptime

Reliability. This tab provides data to view uptime targets and failure metrics, which you can filter by contract, country, and modality. Uptime target metrics are useful for measuring the availability of assets during business operating hours to ensure the equipment meets its performance specification and service agreements. Failure metrics on the execution of planned activities (PM, FMIs) and volume of service calls, are useful for detecting patterns by location or modality. Uptime data is taken directly from the source system; iCenter does not perform uptime calculations for this report.

Sample Uptime tab

Data label Data definition
How many assets meet uptime target? In the Assets meeting target of <x> % field, view or edit the specified target.
View the doughnut chart providing uptime metrics:
  • <x>%: The percentage of assets that meet the specified uptime target
  • gray portion of chart: The number of assets at or above the target uptime
  • orange portion of chart: The number of assets below the target uptime

View the number of assets meeting the uptime target on each of the distribution filters on the right.

In the Summary table view a breakdown of the number of assets by uptime percentage.

How long between failures? In the MTBF Mean time between <x> failure drop-down list, select the failure type to analyze:
  • Down
  • Partial
  • Partial or down

From the Calculation drop-down list, select the method for determine MTBF.

View the number of days since any assets serviced by the selected service provider experienced the specified equipment failure time.

Asset list In the Summary table view, for the assets included in the report, the following reliability metrics:
  • Country
  • Facility
  • City
  • ID
  • Asset
  • Hard down SR count
  • Partial down SR count
  • Uptime
  • MTBF
  • C/P ratio
  • Hard down hours to repair
  • Partial down hours to repair
Service

Service. This tab provides data to view service activity types and repair times, which you can filter by contract, availability, country, and modality. This data is useful for measuring the responsiveness of the service provider to fix problems, to ensure that assets are being serviced in a timely manner and in accordance to with the servicing contract.

Sample Uptime tab

Data label Data definition
What is the service activity? In the Bar chart, view the number of service requests (SRs) within each SR type over the past 12 months:
  • Corrective
  • Proactive
  • FMI
  • Planned
In the doughnut charts below, view service activity metrics:
  • Planned:
    • <x>% Closed: The percentage of planned SRs closed in the last 12 months
    • blue portion of chart: The number of planned SRs closed
    • gray portion of chart: The number of planned SRs still open
    • <x> of <y> SRs closed: The number of planned SRs closed out of the total number of planned SRs opened in the past 12 months
  • FMI:
    • <x> of <y> SRs closed: The number of Field Modification Instruction (FMI) SRs closed out of the total number of FMI SRs opened in the past 12 months
  • Corrective vs Planned:
    • <x>% Corrective: The percentage of corrective SRs compared to planned SRs
    • blue portion of chart: The number of corrective SRs
    • gray portion of chart: The number of planned SRs
    • <x> corrective of <y> total corrective + planned: The number of corrective SRs out of the total number of SRs (corrective and planned) over the past 12 months
How quickly are assets fixed? In the Bar charts, view metrics for time to fix all SRs broken down by equipment failure type (Hard down, Partial down):
  • Avg hours to repair
  • Time to repair (hours)
  • Assets
In the doughnut chart below, view repair activity metrics:
  • First time fix:
    • <x>% 1st time: The percentage of SRs fixed the first time
    • blue portion of chart: The number of SRs fixed the first time
    • gray portion of chart: The number of SRs that required additional fixes
    • <x> of <y> SRs were fixed 1st time: The number of SRs fixed the first time out of the total number of SRs fixed
