User Stroy O&M Dashboard

1. Problem Statement

User Role: Asset Manager

The Asset Manager is responsible for developing and implementing asset management strategies, prioritizing capital investments, tracking lifecycle costs, and ensuring regulatory compliance for infrastructure assets across the utility's water distribution system.

Pain Points:

  1. Fragmented Information Display: Critical data is scattered across multiple widgets without clear prioritization or actionable insights, making it difficult to quickly assess overall system health and make informed decisions.
  2. Reactive vs. Proactive Management: The current interface shows problems after they occur (overdue tasks, emergency work orders, SLA breaches) but lacks predictive capabilities and early warning systems to prevent issues.
  3. Poor Resource Allocation Visibility: While resource bottlenecks are shown (95% electrical technician utilization), there's no integrated view of how to optimize resource allocation or redistribute workload effectively.
  4. Disconnected Work Order Management: Active work orders and scheduled maintenance appear separate from asset performance data, making it difficult to understand the relationship between maintenance activities and asset health.
  5. Limited Predictive Maintenance Integration: Predictive maintenance shows percentage likelihood but lacks integration with work order creation, resource scheduling, and cost impact analysis.

Core Problem:

Asset Managers need a unified, intelligent dashboard that transforms reactive maintenance management into proactive asset lifecycle optimization, with seamless integration across work orders, resource management, predictive analytics, and cross-departmental workflows.

2. Who Are the Users Facing the Problem?

Primary User: Asset Manager

  • Develops asset management strategies and policies
  • Prioritizes capital investments based on asset condition and criticality
  • Tracks lifecycle costs and performance of infrastructure
  • Ensures regulatory compliance for infrastructure assets
  • Coordinates with O&M, field teams, and customer service departments

Access Requirements:

  • Full read/write access to asset management module
  • Integration access to work management, resource scheduling, and customer service modules
  • Dashboard configuration and customization capabilities
  • Advanced analytics and reporting functions

3. Jobs To Be Done

For Asset Manager: When I need to monitor overall asset portfolio health and performance, But I have to switch between multiple disconnected widgets and manually correlate data to understand system-wide status, Help me provide a unified, intelligent dashboard that automatically prioritizes critical issues and shows actionable insights, So that I can quickly assess system health and make informed strategic decisions about asset investments and maintenance priorities.

For Asset Manager: When I need to transition from reactive to predictive maintenance strategies, But I lack integrated tools that connect predictive analytics with work order creation and resource allocation, Help me automatically convert predictive maintenance alerts into scheduled work orders with appropriate resource assignments and priority levels, So that I can prevent asset failures before they impact service delivery and optimize maintenance costs.

For Asset Manager: When I need to optimize resource allocation across competing maintenance priorities, But I have limited visibility into resource availability, technician skills, and work complexity relationships, Help me provide intelligent resource optimization that considers technician specializations, geographic proximity, and work priority levels, So that I can maximize field productivity and minimize service disruptions.

For Asset Manager: When I need to coordinate asset management decisions with customer service and billing impacts, But I lack real-time visibility into how maintenance activities affect customer service levels and revenue, Help me provide integrated dashboards that show the customer and financial impact of asset management decisions, So that I can balance operational efficiency with customer satisfaction and revenue protection.

For Asset Manager: When I need to demonstrate regulatory compliance and asset management effectiveness, But I must manually compile data from multiple systems and create custom reports, Help me provide automated compliance tracking and performance reporting with audit trails and regulatory alignment, So that I can ensure compliance requirements are met and demonstrate asset management value to stakeholders.
