Standard Operating Procedure

Registry ID: TR-BUILDING

1. System Overview & Purpose

  • Purpose: Centralized lifecycle management of facility assets to ensure regulatory compliance, extend equipment longevity, and minimize unplanned downtime.
  • Scope: Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP) systems, structural inspections, and routine safety audits.
  • Update Cadence: Daily review for "Overdue" tasks; Monthly leadership reporting on deferred maintenance and budget variance.

4. Key Formulas & Calculation Logic

  • Status Logic (Auto-flag Overdue): =IF(AND(TODAY()>F2, G2<>"Completed"), "OVERDUE", G2)
  • Next Due Date (Dynamic): =EDATE(E2, 1) (Assumes 1-month frequency; adjust integer for intervals).
  • Days Overdue (Conditional): =IF(H2="OVERDUE", TODAY()-F2, 0)
  • Total Budget Exposure: =SUMIF(G:G, "<>Completed", I:I)

5. Summary KPI Dashboard

MetricCalculation / Formula
Completion Rate=COUNTIF(G:G, "Completed") / COUNTA(G:G)
Critical Overdue Items=COUNTIFS(C:C, "P1", G:G, "Overdue")
Open Maintenance Cost=SUMIFS(I:I, G:G, "<>Completed")
Compliance Score=1 - (COUNTIF(G:G, "Overdue") / COUNTIF(G:G, "<>Pending"))

6. Standard Operating Workflow

  1. Morning Audit (Daily): Filter the "Status" column for "Overdue." Assign technicians immediately to P1/P2 items.
  2. Execution: Field technicians update the "Last Done" date and change "Status" to "Completed" upon task closure.
  3. Data Integrity: The "Next Due Date" column is calculated via the EDATE formula; do not manually overwrite this field.
  4. Reporting: At the end of each month, extract the "Open Maintenance Cost" to forecast procurement needs for the following month.
  5. Quarterly Review: Archive "Completed" tasks to a secondary "Archive" sheet to maintain query performance in the master sheet.
