Quadron KPI Contract Dashboard and Grounds Maintenance Chart

The downloadable Quadron KPI Contract Dashboard will be updated for each ‘period’. (There are 13 periods in a year, each 4 weeks long). The dashboard shows the KPI’s that have been achieved and those that have not over the last 3 periods in relation to the grounds maintenance work taking place at that time. The grounds maintenance schedule of work can be found as a downloadable document called ‘Grounds Maintenance Chart’ at the bottom of this page and should be cross-referenced to fully understand the information on the dashboard i.e. to gain awareness of what work is taking place at a given time or ‘period’.

Each KPI has been given a ‘threshold’, which if surpassed represents a breach in the standard of service provided. Any breaches are represented by a red dot underneath the relevant period and beside the relevant threshold and duty. KPI’s that have been achieved are represented by a green dot.

In addition, the Major KPI’s and other information relating to monitoring the contract are also provided by graphs at the top of the dashboard and there are two comments boxes which record the ‘Top Issues and Risks’ as well as ‘Focus for Future Action.’
