What is a computerised maintenance management system?
A computerised maintenance management system (or CMMS) is software that helps managers and maintenance teams to keep a record of all assets streamline maintenance operations.
CMMS helps businesses efficiently manage assets, schedule and track maintenance tasks, monitor equipment performance, and maintain a record of maintenance history. The system typically includes features such as work order management, preventive maintenance scheduling, asset tracking, inventory management, and reporting capabilities. CMMS plays a crucial role in improving maintenance operations, reducing downtime, increasing equipment reliability, and extending the lifespan of assets.
A CMMS offers multiple core maintenance functionalities. CMMSs are used by a variety of industries from manufacturing to facilities, utilities, fleet, hospitals, schools, sports stadiums and more where any type of equipment/assets are subject to repair and need maintenance.
