Welcome!

Welcome to PMI – the management art and science of resource and productivity management!  

We are here to provide support and guidance as you get to grips with PMI.  It may seem a little complex at first but don’t worry, just follow this simple onboarding guide and you’ll be a PMI pro in no time. 

What is PMI?

A key part of a management role is to deliver great service while minimizing waste – be it labor, food, energy, towels, and linen, and so on.  

PMI is designed to help you and your team achieve just that by assisting in the tasks of goal setting, execution, and monitoring progress more easily and with better transparency – which helps foster trust, collaboration, and accountability. 

Our objective with this section is to help you understand how to navigate PMI, and how to read the various reports and extract the necessary information to make good, informed decisions for your department leading to better control, reduced waste and increased productivity.
