Measuring Impact and driving excellence will harness the Power of Work Order Insights!

In work order Management, Impact typically refers to the degree of effect or consequence a particular work order or service request has on the operations, assets, or resources of an organization. It helps to prioritize and categorize work orders based on their potential impact on the business and the urgency required for resolution. When users or customers submit work orders, they may provide information about the impact level, which is then used by the organization's service management system to determine the appropriate response time and resource allocation for addressing the issue. The impact level is often combined with "Urgency" which guides the order in which work orders are handled.

Solution

A client submits a work order for a malfunctioning air conditioning system in their data center with the following values:
Impact: High
Urgency: High
The system recognizes the high impact and urgency of this work order, and it is automatically escalated to the top of the priority list. The facility management team is immediately notified to take swift action to fix the issue since a malfunctioning air conditioning system in a data center can lead to critical consequences like overheating equipment and potential data loss.
