The True Cost of Your Maintenance Activities Consulting, Inc. Mary Joyce Ivers, CPFP, PWLF City of Ventura Kurt B. Lind Mesa Water District Billy Wright LA Consulting APWA National Toronto August 17, 2014 Session #9308 Objectives Sponsored by APWA's Fleet Management Committee Every agency needs to know the cost to do their work, whether it s patching a pothole, repairing a guardrail, or cleaning a sewer line or maintaining fleet and equipment. Agencies often bill others for their services. Assuring total compensation for reimbursable services performed is imperative so that those receiving the service are fairly charged. It is also crucial to know how overhead is determined. Learning Objectives: 1. Identify the different types of overhead and methods used to calculate the rates. 2. Discuss the methodology for applying overhead for activity costing. 3. Apply rates to identify opportunities for savings. Definitions DIRECT, AVOIDABLE costs that are directly charged to work efforts and would be avoided if function was no longer performed. (e.g. billable wages, materials) INDIRECT, AVOIDABLE costs that are not directly charged to work efforts, but would otherwise be avoided if effort was no longer performed. (e.g. supervision, admin support, uniforms, small tools) FIXED costs that are not significantly affected by service delivery. (e.g. manager salary, rent). Not considered in avoidable overhead. VARIABLE costs that may vary according to resource utilization, productivity, and/or efficiency. May be direct (e.g. materials) or indirect (e.g. fuel, small tools) CMMS Computerized Maintenance Management System is a combination of technology and business processes used by managers for planning, organizing, scheduling and improving operations.

Why Is This Important? True cost of business How CMMS costing relates to overall budget Understand unit cost Allows for comparison in an agency with 50 maintenance workers averaging $15 per hour, an overhead rate offset by just 10% can result in a $132,000 annual shortfall. Full External Cost for Full Recovery Avoidable Internal Cost of Operations Overhead Types Used by Finance groups for invoices, billing, etc. Captures direct and indirect costs May be flat hourly rate or unit cost for service Used by management and analysts for contract feasibility, benchmarking, etc. When applied, regular hours will account for all operational costs (direct and indirect) that would be avoided if work was no longer performed. Overtime captures only some costs (medi, soc sec, work comp) CMMS Avoidable Overhead Individual Employee Salary (A) Full Time Annual Availability 2,080 hours Direct Labor Hours (B) varies by each employee Direct Labor Cost (C) = (A) * (B/2,080) Avoidable Indirect Costs (D) includes leave, benefits, meetings, training, support, small tools, uniforms, etc. Avoidable Overhead = (D) / (C) Example: Employee salary of $50,000 (A) with direct labor charges of 1,800 hours (B) Direct labor cost (C) = $50,000 * (1,800/2,080) = $43,269 Avoidable indirect costs (D) = $75,000 Avoidable overhead = $75,000 / $43,269 = 173% (2.73 multiplier) Session #9308 2
