Digital engineering case study

Engineering KPI dashboard that made downtime visible to the exco

Maintenance data existed but nobody could act on it. We built the engineering KPI layer that turns plant data into weekly decisions.

The challenge

Downtime, backlog and compliance data sat across spreadsheets and separate systems. Management reporting was retrospective and inconsistent between shafts.

Our approach

  1. 01

    Define the engineering questions

    We started with the decisions management needed to make, not with the data available.

  2. 02

    Data consolidation

    Maintenance, downtime and compliance sources consolidated into a single reporting model.

  3. 03

    Dashboard build

    Power BI dashboards for availability, backlog ageing, top failure modes and cost per asset.

  4. 04

    Operating rhythm

    Weekly engineering review pack and escalation thresholds embedded with the team.

Outcomes

  • Single source of truth for engineering performance
  • Downtime causes ranked and attacked in priority order
  • Executive reporting produced in minutes instead of days

Engineering leads the decision. The dashboard just makes sure nobody can lose sight of it.
