Maintenance Management Systems: Ways to Use Your Computerized Maintenance Management Systems

By Arthur Crandal


Data security and data management are two of the most popular buzzwords in today's world, where computerized maintenance management systems rules. Computerized maintenance management systems, or CMMS, are those systems, which are used to storage and maintenance of data. For instance, SAP and ERP are two such important systems.

SAP and ERP help people manage a database of information about an organization's data maintenance and management operations. These software packages can also be used for taking work orders, managing the assets of an organization, controlling the inventory, and for preventive maintenance or keeping track of the various jobs and work orders.

Calculating maintenance costs for every piece of equipment owned by an organization. Tracking stock on hand to an up-to-the-minute basis to be sure that all necessary parts are on hand for the service department or counter customers. Also determining which shelves in which store rooms contain which parts, to cut down on customer service time.
Scheduling jobs and assigning personnel for any particular job.
Keeping an automated recording of the costs and any relevant information related to a particular job to allow for timely changes in the case of a drop in profit margin.

Maintenance management systems come at a nominal fee, and at special prices for business houses and special parties planning to purchase them. If you are looking for value-added facilities, then you should be prepared to shell out some extra money to purchase more sophisticated system software. You need to consider the main product and its features before selecting the system. It must be preloaded with mechanical and bio-medical procedures, and compatible with Microsoft Windows TM. Finally, buy the system from a trusted vendor.

CMMS packages can give detailed and daily or even hourly status reports on any item monitored by the database. Summaries can be made of facility activities on an as-needed basis to give management an idea of the status of the facility performance prior to or along with the detailed status reports. All these maintenance structures combine to create a streamlined, effective workplace through CMMS.
