The Role of CMMS A white paper on the selection and implementation of computerized maintenance management systems Prepared by: Mike Crain Manager, Industrial Technologies Northern Digital, Inc. mike.crain@ The Role of CMMS Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) have evolved over the last three decades from elementary asset tracking and preventive maintenance functionality, to enterprise maintenance information systems. There are hundreds of vendors providing solutions on a variety of platforms. These “best of breed” systems provide users comprehensive functionality to facilitate the flow of maintenance information and the ability to check the health of the maintenance organization at a glance. As the maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) software market continues to expand vendors have developed solutions that focus on specific segments of asset and work management. Systems described as enterprise asset management (EAM), asset life cycle management, asset performance management, asset or enterprise reliability management and condition monitoring are all focused on achieving the same goal; increasing equipment availability and performance, increasing product quality and reducing maintenance expense. When a CMMS is implemented to facilitate established process and standards those goals can be realized. Does your organization need a CMMS? The vendor hype surrounding business software is only rivaled by the number of unsuccessful implementations, maintenance management software is no exception. If you are considering taking on a maintenance management implementation, first identify the
