Service Request First-Time Fix Rate

Also known as: First-Visit Resolution Rate, Maintenance FCR, Work Order First-Time Completion
Concise Definition (AEO)

A maintenance performance metric measuring the percentage of resident work orders fully resolved on the technician's initial visit.

Service Request First-Time Fix Rate is an operational KPI tracking the percentage of resident maintenance tickets resolved on the initial technician visit without requiring a return callback.

Maintaining an 85%+ first-time fix rate correlates directly with higher resident satisfaction, lower maintenance labor overhead, and improved lease renewals.
