Computerized Maintenance Management
System (CMMS):

A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is a type of management

software that performs functions in support of management and tracking of O&M
activities.

• CMMS systems automate most of the logistical functions performed by maintenance

staff and management.
• CMMS does not make decisions; rather it provides the O&M manager with the best
information to affect the operational efficiency of a facility.

CMMS Components:
Material Management:
• Discretely track parts by a unique item number
• The ability to post inventory cost to work orders using “average” or “last price”
Other Benefits:
• Work order generation, prioritization, and tracking by equipment/component.
• Historical tracking of all work orders generated which become sortable by equipment, date, person
responding, etc.
• Tracking of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities.
• Storing of maintenance procedures, technical documentation or procedures by component as well as
warranty information by component. Calendar- or run-time-based preventive maintenance work order
generation.
• Capital and labor cost tracking by component as well as shortest, median, and longest times to close a
work order by component.
• Complete parts and materials inventory control with automated reorder capability

CMMS Benefits:
• Elimination of paperwork and manual tracking activities
• Detection of impending problems before a failure occurs resulting in fewer failures and customer
complaints.
• Achieving a higher level of planned maintenance activities that enables a more efficient use of staff
resources.
• Affecting inventory control enabling better spare parts forecasting to eliminate shortages and minimize
existing inventory.
• Maintaining optimal equipment performance that reduces downtime and results in longer equipment
life.
