Computerised Maintenance Management Systems in Practice

A maintenance department only performs as well as the data it keeps. Moving from spreadsheets and paper cards to a computerised maintenance management system changes how work orders, spares and asset histories are handled. Selecting, configuring and running a CMMS so that the numbers reported to management can be trusted is the focus.

What you will be able to do

  • Structure an asset register and equipment hierarchy that a CMMS can use.
  • Build work order types, priorities and workflows that match how the team actually operates.
  • Link spare parts, stores and reorder levels to planned and breakdown jobs.
  • Capture maintenance history so that failure trends and costs can be analysed.
  • Generate reports on backlog, schedule compliance and asset downtime.
  • Plan a rollout that brings artisans and planners onto the system without losing existing records.
