What belongs on a workshop wall display

A short guide to choosing which fleet maintenance dashboard views deserve a wall screen in the service bay versus the planner desk.

Construction and industrial site with heavy vehicles

Not every chart belongs under fluorescent lights. A wall display in the bay should answer one question at a glance: what should we pull in next? Planner desks can hold richer history; the wall should stay ruthless.

Good wall candidates

  • Overdue safety-critical jobs ordered by severity
  • Due-soon units for the current shift window
  • Parts-hold count (not the full supplier commentary)

Keep off the wall

Long trend lines, cost charts, and driver comparisons. Those discussions belong in scheduled meetings. When a wall tries to do both, night shift learns to ignore it — and your service interval analytics lose the audience they were built for.
