In addition, CMMS is a tool to help manage and track maintenance activities, such as scheduled maintenance, work orders, parts and inventory, purchasing, and projects. It gives full visibility and control of maintenance operations, so everyone can see what has been done and what needs to be done. It helps identify tasks that need to be done or prioritized, ensuring nothing is overlooked. One of the biggest benefits of CMMS is increased labor productivity. The system can help plan and track work so technicians can complete their tasks without interruption. With proper planning and tracking, the maintenance team is more organized and less stressed.
Getting to Work—Setting up a PM program
Published in Ryan Cruzan, Manager’s Guide to Preventive Building Maintenance, 2020
Computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) can help to automate the work of the maintenance department. CMMS can receive maintenance requests directly from building users, generate work orders, keep track of parts inventory, schedule PM work, keep records of work completed, keep records of maintenance and repair costs, labor hours, and parts used. Because CMMS software can do so much, choosing a CMMS can be a daunting task. Unless you’ve worked with CMMS before, you probably don’t even know what questions to ask or what features you will want to have when looking for a CMMS.

A good CMMS will increase the effectiveness and overall efficiency of any company’s maintenance program. MMS is helping the Maintenance Technology Services department control costs, save administrative time, and increase customer service and satisfaction. And, because MMS was designed to be a scaleable system, it supports the client’s needs today and will continue to do so well into the future.

Maintenance services have a growing interest in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) assistant in order to help them in performing their function (Amadi-Echendu & Wit, 2015). There are some Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) offered in the software market. CMMS is a software package used to track, schedule, organize and facilitate maintenance activities (Throop 2000). Maintenance service seeks to maintain or restore a property concerning a system or its components (e.g. equipment or parts) in a specified state so that it is able to provide a specific service. Maintenance is defined by (Dhillon 2002) as ‘All actions appropriate for retaining an item/part/equipment in, or restoring it to, a given condition.’ The information management systems must guarantee effective management of equipment in order to manage maintenance workshops and staff, manage stocks of equipment and spare parts, locate useful equipment at any one time, retrace the complete history of any equipment that has undergone maintenance, etc. Maintenance software has a considerable impact on a better management of the maintenance activities by an effective planning of interventions, ensuring equipment inventory at any time, improving performance by increasing reliability, traceability, and availability of the equipment (or parts) (Manzini et al. 2015).

The Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is a tool used to organise, track and maintain a record of all maintenance activities within a company. It can be linked to an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to understand the costs associated with spare parts. By analysing past data on the production system, the CMMS can help to prioritise the different failures observed based on their costs and occurrences. If a new production system has no historical data, the CMMS can be used to update the list of failure modes identified through other methods at a later time.
