What is CMMS Software?

A computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) is a software package that maintains a database of information about an organization's maintenance operations. This information helps maintenance workers do their jobs more effectively (for example, determining which machines require maintenance and which storerooms contain the spare parts they need) and to help management make informed decisions (for example, calculating the cost of machine breakdown repair versus preventive maintenance for each machine, possibly leading to better allocation of resources).

What are the benefits of CMMS Software?

Increased Level of Maintenance Information

A major benefit of MAINTAINED.COM comes from developing a historical database that becomes readily available as critical maintenance information. An effective system helps turn data into information you can use to manage maintenance at your organization.

Improved Work and Service Request Control

The work order and service request modules are the heart of MAINTAINED.COM, providing the basis for work management, cost tracking, equipment history, and performance reporting. MAINTAINED.COM controls work requests by type, monitoring backlogs, determining priorities, and scheduling.

Improved Planning and Scheduling

MAINTAINED.COM provides the systems and procedures to establish a more effective day-to-day maintenance planning and scheduling function, which is a key contributor to improved craft labor utilization and customer service. We must plan for maintenance excellence because it does not occur naturally.

Extend Equipment Life

MAINTAINED.COM provides the ability to ensure maintenance is performed according to a defined Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedule leading to increased Asset / Equipment life. PM tasks and inspection frequencies can be setup in the scheduling module. MAINTAINED.COM can monitor failure trends and highlight major causes of equipment breakdowns and unscheduled repairs.

Establish a Standard for Maintenance Tasks

Merging activities into one system which prints detailed maintenance instructions on work orders creates a consistent and common standard to your operations.

Improved Reliability / Reduced Downtime

MAINTAINED.COM provides the means to track work order and equipment history data related to types of repairs, frequencies, and causes for failure. It allows maintenance to have key information on failure trends that leads to eliminating root causes of failures and improving overall equipment reliability. Equipment downtime will be drastically reduced when MAINTAINED.COM is utilized to establish a preventive maintenance schedule.

Increased Capability to Measure Performance

A MAINTAINED.COM database provides a vast source of maintenance information to allow more effective measurement of maintenance performance and service. MAINTAINED.COM enables the establishment of internal benchmarks to provide measurement of improvements in such areas as craft labor productivity, PM compliance, downtime, store inventory control, backlog, service level, and reliability.

Optimize Inventory Usage / Eliminate Stockouts

Well-organized stockrooms with accurate inventory records, a stock locator system, stock levels, and a storeroom catalog can significantly improve the overall maintenance operation. MAINTAINED.COM provides the means for more effective management and control of maintenance parts and material inventories. Information for decisions on inventory reduction is readily available to identify parts usage, excess inventory levels, and obsolete parts.

Increased Budget Accountability

MAINTAINED.COM provides for greater accountability for craft labor and parts/materials through the work order and storeroom inventory modules. This increased level of control provides greater accountability of the overall maintenance budget by individual piece of equipment, by using department, or by work order.
