The Business Intelligence (BI) and Financial Reporting team is excited to announce the launch of a new report designed to help you as a recharge facility manager improve your processes:

Cost of Operations Dashboard

This dashboard helps self-supporting units analyze the drivers of their costs and changes to those costs over time. It can be used to support development of recharge rate proposals or other cost recovery proposals. The dashboard uses PPM and Labor Ledger data. It answers questions like:

How has the cost of operating my unit changed over time?
What types of costs have driven increases or decreases in the cost of operating my unit?
Did costs go up because we hired more people, because people were promoted into higher-level positions, or because of general salary increases?
Did the cost of the items we buy go up, or did we buy more of those items?
What items do we buy to support our operations?

Additional information about this dashboard can be found here. While reports are user-tested as much as possible prior to release, we recognize that they won’t be perfect immediately. We rely on community feedback through enhancement requests and tickets to get new reports into their final form. We look forward to working with you to make this new report the best it can be. See it in action at the next Recharge Administrative Forum in early 2025.

We would like to thank the members of the Recharge Fiscal Manager Reporting Workgroup for their time spent providing input and feedback that led to the development of this report:

Anna Nordeen - Information Technology Services
Asciutto Antonino - Animal Care Program
Simona Vieru - Resource Management and Planning
Joanne Lai - Facilities Management
