FBO Systems Introduces New MLS Dashboard



(September 15, 2004 - Atlanta) - Atlanta-based FBO Systems, Inc. (FBOS) is making KPI-driven management an immediate reality with its new MLS Dashboard(TM). This web-based, executive information system instantly transforms raw critical data into visually-depicted trends, financial impacts and other pertinent enterprise information-right on the user's desktop. The new product makes accurate details on purchase and inventory transactions, equipment performance, operational hot spots, trends and performance metrics at any level of the organization available at a click.

Despite their industry-acknowledged benefits, developing KPIs - Key Performance Indicators-is an often insurmountable challenge for any business. First, it requires access to information that is typically not available. Even when it is at hand, data is usually inconsistent since each plant and department approaches it differently. Therefore, that information has to be mapped into a standard package that compares "apples to apples"-a project that takes a tremendous amount of time and energy to assimilate what is then old information. In a regulatory environment, where Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requires a 48-hour notification on changes in business, this can spell disaster.

FBO Systems has already invested the knowledge, expertise and effort to define a series of more than 150 KPIs and performance metrics that address equipment reliability and financial analysis, and translates the applicable management information into visual interactive reports, graphs and charts. This "snap shot" positions data as it relates to overall trends within a manufacturing plant and throughout the enterprise.

Even more detailed information is simply a drill-down away. In fact, MLS Dashboard accommodates multiple drill-downs for more specific data, and hyperlinks to the MLS database to display individual purchase orders, work orders, transactions and other source documents.

FBO Systems is a leading provider of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) products and professional services. The 15-year-old company utilizes comprehensive software and skilled consulting services to assist clients in integrating plant maintenance and MRO Supply Chain activities into their manufacturing processes.
