You and CMMS, Part 1

At a minimum, your computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) should do the following:

  • Record and track material usage and labor costs.
  • Capture information on inventories.
  • Control the work-order system.
  • Provide equipment data and history.
  • Schedule and track preventive/predictive maintenance.
  • Link all critical information in a relational database.
  • Provide some analysis functions.
  • Export data to spreadsheet and database applications for analysis.
