Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)

As maintenance management often accounts for as much as 40% of operational budgets, the savings made possible from increased efficiency and reduction of waste can be staggering. Over the past 20 years, advances in Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and associated technology have transformed manufacturing and operating efficiency levels.

Today, small and medium size businesses can take advantage of highly affordable systems and expect a return on their investment within months rather than years.

The essence of CMMS software is to give you the ability to easily capture information and quickly make decisions about your organisations’ valuable assets. Trading paper-based or spreadsheets methods of asset management for a CMMS helps you transform maintenance operations from reactive crisis management towards an effectively controlled system.

The purchase of CMMS solutions is often driven by the need to ensure compliance with health and safety legislations and customer audit requirements in addition to the need to reduce maintenance costs and improve reporting. In reality, CMMS software delivers far more than a tool for compliance with a great many benefits and functionality to support:

• Asset Management
• Condition Monitoring
• Reliability Centred Maintenance
• Preventive Maintenance
• Predictive Maintenance
• TPM

Leading CMMS software like the Idhammar MMS form a vital part of the Lean Toolkit.
