Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) are designed to help maintenance organizations reduce maintenance costs, improve asset performance, increase maintenance productivity, and increase asset life span. This list can go on and on. Today's CMMS software systems also include inventory control, purchasing, receiving, invoicing (receivables and payables), budget control, calibration management, document control, etc.
CMMS systems are very helpful as long as they are implemented in the way for you to receive the data you need. Bottom line...the system must be setup properly so you will receive the results you desire.
When selecting a CMMS software, you must define a list of features that you need now and a list that would be nice to have. The success stories of implementing a CMMS always include user requirements. The users requirements is a detailed list of how the users from all affected departments will use the CMMS, and what features they need to perform their job. Another factor in all successful CMMS implementations are creating a project plan and assigning a project manager. Those two factors alone provide a tremendous improvement in the chances your CMMS implementation project will succeed.
