Computerized Maintenance Management System
A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), also known as an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system is essential for proper support of maintenance functions. CMMS is a software package that maintains a database of information about an organization’s entire maintenance operations. Its functions range from tracking work orders, requests for on-demand maintenance, scheduling of preventive maintenance, and management of facility resources.
CMMS systems are used by maintenance departments in companies managing mid to large-sized buildings, particularly corporations that require a diverse range of equipment that need regular maintenance. CMMS assists companies in the management of labor and materials and contribute to:
- Improved asset and labor productivity
- Better optimization of maintenance resources
- Increased efficiency in inventory management
- Increased in-warranty cost recovery
- Marked reduction in materials costs
- Prevent and/or predict asset failure
