The tracker can provide a convenient method of getting statistics about equipment failures or breakdowns, time spent waiting for parts, time spent in PM etc. When running reports, management can identify the main reasons why the asset is logged down. ZenduMa reports are invaluable in any continuous improvement program to determine where issues lie.
