SchoolDude and IPM Using Work Orders and PM Schedules for Reporting and Proactive Measures in Educational Facilities
Source: Registration Survey for national “IPM Webinar” (361 respondents) 3
What Educational Facility Departments Face Underfunded, under-resourced, under-appreciated Wearing too many hats Compliance with changing laws, codes and other requirements for multiple trades More facility managers want insight of what to trend and best methods on how to trend
Where Schools Need a Helping Hand • Best practices • What to do • How to do it • Tips and tricks • How to track it • Statistics and benchmarks • Justification for additional funding and/or new resources
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) • A proactive and common sense approach of dealing with pest problems • Does not rely on automatic or scheduled application of pesticides • Combines various methods and tactics to • Control current pests • Prevent future pest problems
Food/Water Shelter & Hiding places Entry points • Steps in IPM • Inspection & monitoring • Pest Identification • Action Levels • Control measures • Follow-up or evaluation Triangle of resources • IPM tactics • Cultural methods • Physical/mechanical • Biological agents • Chemicals • Decision making process • Is action necessary? • Where is it necessary? • What action is appropriate? • When should action be taken?
Food/Water Entry points Shelter & Hiding places Chemical measures: Insecticides & rodenticides Biological agents: Bacteria, Fungi, Viruses, parasites/parasitoids • Physical/Mechanical measures • Exclusion/pest proofing • Traps and other devices • Repair & Maintenance • Light and temperature • Cultural measures • Cleaning/Sanitation • Proper Storage • Waste disposal/recycling • Landscaping • Awareness/Education
Advantages of IPM • Focuses on long-term pest prevention • Less disruptive to classrooms, dorms and offices • Customizable and flexible to a school, situation and location • Verifiable and accountable approach • Dovetails from school system safety, sanitation and maintenance program by incorporating a pest management perspective on activities at a site
Facility departments can enable a form for staff to submit problems or requests. Requests are automatically routed to the appropriate party for review and assignment. Reactive: Requests from Staff for Pest Issues 13
What M&O Departments Typically Track for Work Performed • Location • Building (maybe) • Room (maybe) • Craft/Trade/Skill Set/Problem Type • Status • Priority • Date Created and Date Completed
Fill in any remaining details not given by a Requester. Gives great results for graphs and reports, plus allows you to set up specific searches for an automatic report. Same Request As ViewedBy Facilities
What M&O Could Be Tracking…and Should Be! • Purpose/Reason/Focus/Why? • Transactions • Labor • Materials • 3rd Parties • Budget • Projects • Classifications/Categorizations
Other Saved Action Reports • Ideas for Saved Reports: • Work Order Reports • Completed Pest Control Work for Last Month • Open Pest Control Work at a school • Open Pest Control Work Greater Than X Amount of Days Old • Transactions Reports • Costs of Pest Control Work for Last Month • Costs of Pest Control Work at a school • Pest Control Costs for the Fiscal Year 19
Recurring Scheduling for IPM Users may establish a scheduled series of inspections
PM Calendar Resulting work orders auto-generate with task lists
Supplies A least-toxic toolkit supports the service aspects of a strong IPM program and ensures it is implemented safely and effectively: • General cleaner and pheromone remover (e.g., Super C Cleaner) • Head lice shampoo (e.g., De-Licer) • Dust applications (diatomaceous earth, Nibor) • Traps (pheromone, glue) • Bait stations • No liquid or aerosol applications review your state or province’s regulations or rules to understand what is considered least toxic
Supply Tracking for Pest Management Identify the items to pull from stock before a work order is generated or record items used after a job is done
Reports 31
The Mindset To Help Reporting • Track more than on a job than just “is it open or is it finished?” and “where it is” • Prove what you do and what you need to get work done • Save time for graphs and reports by: • Filling in a couple of extra details now to save a ton of work later • Letting a system send reports for you vs. you gathering the information
Reports 34
When Good Data Practices are Followed Data used: “Area” in MaintenanceDirect 36
Proving the Impacts Cost: 2000/01 $ 56,325 2001/02- now $ 26,400 37
Summary • IPM is integral to your schools to reduce: • Health issues • Environmental issues • Economics impacts • Liability issues • Take a Professional Approach • Legislation is being required in some states and reports will help prove your initiatives • Plan your work, track your impacts and show your results
What’s Next? Additional templates focused on specific states? Additional templates balanced between a facility director’s view of work vs. the pest type? Additional templates focused on space types? More ideas?
