A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) plays a vital role in the evolution and operational success of organizations. A CMMS provides a central storage location for most asset data and information, and it is used by organizations to manage and control their workflows and material flow/parts usage, as well as to track maintenance activity throughout the lifecycle of an asset.

Benefits of Implementing a CMMS

A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) plays a vital role in the evolution and operational success of organizations. A CMMS provides a central storage location for most asset data and information, and it is used by organizations to manage and control their workflows and material flow/parts usage, as well as to track maintenance activity throughout the lifecycle of an asset.

Maintenance, facilities, and operations departments can use a CMMS to manage assets, work orders, work requests, preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance tasks, inventory and parts, condition monitoring, and maintenance schedules. All maintenance activities and data can be monitored and analyzed through a CMMS’s reporting tools and dashboards.

An intuitive CMMS interface makes maintenance management easy and predictable for team members at all levels and roles, from maintenance technicians to senior management. With a mobile CMMS, technicians can view and close work orders from the field, making it highly efficient to complete tasks on the go. Maintenance data is transformed into reports that are meaningful to the organization.

By implementing a CMMS, organizations are empowered to:

• Extend the life of assets.
• Meet compliance and safety standards.
• Increase visibility and transparency.
• Monitor and improve work completion rates.
• Automate many steps within key business processes.
• Reduce maintenance costs.
• Increase worker productivity.
• Promote a paperless environment.
• Make data-driven decisions.
• Define and achieve performance success factors.
• Reduce equipment downtime and improve asset availability.

In conclusion, a CMMS records and tracks all maintenance activities by implementing an environment of interrelated program modules designed to facilitate maintenance business processes and the optimal management of resources such as labor, material, tools, and information to achieve sustainable and reliable operational stability. Today’s asset-intensive organizations are making better use of cutting-edge, user-friendly, and scalable CMMS platforms.
