Frequently Asked Questions About Mapcon Technologies, Inc.
What is CMMS?
A Computerized Maintenance Management System, or CMMS, is a software program designed to manage maintenance activities and keep detailed maintenance records of all assets within an organization. The program allows users to create and dispatch work orders, schedule preventive maintenance tasks, track equipment usage and repairs, and record asset history.
What are CMMS solutions used for?
A computerized maintenance management system tackles a multitude of maintenance-related tasks, including:
Work order management. CMMS solutions enable users to create work orders detailing repair needs. Many systems also have the option to attach images or documents to the order.
Preventive maintenance. CMMS maintenance software offers users the ability to schedule preventive maintenance on pieces of equipment, thus decreasing downtime and reactive repair costs.
Recording historical data. Robust CMMS solutions include the ability to track historical data, such as repairs, purchases, vendor information, and preventive maintenance. This information can be useful during audits.
Inventory management. Users can refer to their system to ensure parts and materials are always available when needed.
What industries use CMMS software?
The versatility of CMMS software makes it usable in just about every industry. A few of the industries that would benefit most from a system are: government, education, hospitals, manufacturing, as well as building and property management.
What are the benefits of CMMS software?
Here are just a few ways CMMS software can benefit a company:
Decreased equipment downtime. A maintenance management system makes planning preventive maintenance (PM) on equipment easy. Staying on top of PM tasks helps keep equipment up and running, therefore decreasing overall downtime. Adding a mobile application with instant notifications can also decrease downtime by alerting workers immediately about urgent repairs.
Longer equipment life. Scheduling routine maintenance checks on equipment within the software will allow workers to make minor repairs or adjustments before it breaks down. Making small adjustments and repairs over time instead of when it fails helps equipment last longer (PDF).
Data analysis. A good software program will allow users to run a variety of reports and have drilldown capability. This will let maintenance professionals see tons of information, such as repair costs and equipment downtime.
Certifications and audits. Having all of the necessary information in one place makes passing inspections and audits, as well as receiving certifications, much easier and smoother.
Enhanced productivity. Without a maintenance management system, technicians might waste their time looking for the parts needed to complete repairs. With this software, the tech can simply look at the parts screen and see exactly where the part is, and if it is in use at that time. In addition, scheduling routine maintenance on equipment can save workers time by allowing them to plan for the task ahead of time.
Reduced overtime. A maintenance management program will cut overtime significantly by decreasing emergency repairs. Scheduling preventive maintenance tasks allows workers to prevent most urgent repairs.
