I write what I'd want to hand a planner on day one. Field-tested patterns from 20 years of Maximo across government, defense, pharma, utilities, and transit — not theory, not vendor decks. Books, KPI Deep Dives, and the IMPACT System library, all in one place.
The definitive practitioner's guide to work execution in IBM Maximo. PM programs, work order workflows, scheduling, crew management, and the metrics that matter.
300+ pages of patterns I learned the hard way at WMATA, Battelle, IBM, and Deloitte — written for the planner, the reliability engineer, and the consultant who needs the work execution layer to actually function. PM compliance, work order lifecycle, planning and scheduling, crew utilization, and the KPIs that hold it all accountable. Done right.
Each guide is a 20–30 page operating manual for one Maximo-measurable KPI. Definition choices. Field mapping. Control loop. 90-day plan. No fluff. No 80-page introduction. Built for planners, reliability engineers, and the people responsible for actually making maintenance work.
The foundational KPI for any PM program. Most teams measure it wrong. This guide shows you why, what to fix, and how to instrument it properly in Maximo.
What your backlog is actually telling you. Age distributions, priority segmentation, and the Maximo query patterns that expose hidden work most teams never see.
The metric that exposes the gap between what gets scheduled and what gets done. Root cause patterns, corrective controls, and how to keep it from becoming a vanity number.

The Advanced KPI series for AI-Era MRO is published and live on the blog. The full Control Series Deep Dive library rolls out quarterly through 2026 and 2027.
Most of what's on this page also ships as a training package, a license for an internal team, or a custom Deep Dive scoped to your environment. Tell me what you need and I'll tell you straight whether I can help.
