SYNOPSIS

As the value of maintenance is becoming clearer to management , the priority of maintenance is increasing. Companies are turning to computers to enhance their maintenance system. This is a review of the “cutting edge” in today maintenance management - Computerized Maintenance Management System.

A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is a software tool to help manage and track maintenance activities such as scheduled maintenance, work orders, parts inventory, purchasing and projects. The CMMS gives full visibility and control on maintenance operations so everyone can see what’s already been done and what still needs to be done. A lot of organizations don’t have an efficient process for dealing with work requests.

CMMS software can automate this process to ensure nothing is forgotten. It lets employees log work requests directly to the maintenance queue through the CMMS guest portal. The maintenance engineer and their team can focus on the job at hand without interruption.

Implementing a CMMS is an opportunity to streamline business processes, run a more reliable facility, and ultimately save money. We’ve given you plenty of reasons as to why CMMS is the “Cutting Edge in Today Maintenance”.
