Benefits of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS)

Categories: CMMS, Facilities Maintenance

Managing a facility can be challenging, but a Computer Maintenance Management System (CMMS) can streamline the process. When properly integrated, a CMMS allows data-driven analyses of your facility, taking the guesswork out of preventive maintenance schedules, labor allocation, and inventory control. A CMMS report is customizable according to your facility’s specific needs and enhances facility maintenance in a variety of ways.

80% of companies link a CMMS to greater productivity

CMMS Features and Functionality

The core of a CMMS is its database. Data is generated through Internet of Things (IoT) devices which are further fed into a CMMS. CMMS utilizes software that centralizes maintenance information and facilitates the maintenance operations process.

The information in a CMMS database supports various system functions, enabling the various capabilities:

Optimizes utilization of physical equipment
Increases workflow visibility
Consistency of knowledge transfer
Regulates compliance & inventory management
Distributes work requests
Audit record organization
Proactive & preventive maintenance
Access to real-time information
Budget functions
Automates work request process

Benefits of Using a CMMS

Prior to CMMS software, data was challenging to centralize and consolidate as it was scattered through paper-based records or multiple spreadsheets. CMMS software allows the balancing of resources and maintains the costs to keep backlogs regulated.

Implementing CMMS into operations can provide the structure needed to ensure consistency as well as a multitude of benefits:

Increases safety
Less likely to have inconsistent workloads due to unexpected maintenance
Enhances productivity
Can improve company profitability through efficient use of resources and reduced operating costs
Analyzes actual costs of equipment
Reduces repair costs
Access and update info anytime and anywhere
Accomplish more with the same resources
Greater control over parts inventory
Reduce energy consumption and become a greener organization
