VDM^XL Control Panel

Companies that manage on the basis of economic value added are obliged to continually monitor their performance. Within VDM^XL, this is done with the help of the VDM^XL Control Panel; a fully automated KPI dashboard for Maintenance & Asset Management organizations. The VDM^XL Control Panel has been developed using Modern Business Intelligence software and is integrated into the company’s EAM system. The 12 VDM^XL KPIs are calculated and visualized in real time on the basis of data provided by SAP EAM, IBM Maximo, Infor EAM or Ultimo. In addition, the Control Panel includes a separate dashboard for each KPI and contains six subordinate PIs. Each (K)PI can be further analyzed using flexible drill-down analyses and lists with transactional data from the EAM system.

The key VDM^XL Control Panel functionalities are as follows:

• Real-time visualization of 100+ predefined KPI graphs.
• Elaborate target module for managing KPI standards and budgets for each asset/period (week, month, year).
• Flexible drill-down analysis below each KPI graph with adjustable axes and predefined filters.
• Support for internal and external benchmarking.
• Option of developing and visualizing company-specific KPI graphs.
• Automated calculation of the Economic Value Added (EVA) per asset/period.
• Meeting Action Tracker for documenting and monitoring actions.
• Developed using modern SAP Business Objects and IBM Cognos BI technology.
• Proven Performance Management methodology for on-site organizational implementation.
