How does a CMMS work?

The information in the CMMS software database supports various system functions. This allows you to be more efficient on:

Resource and employee management: You can track your employees and equipment certifications. Assemble work teams to perform targeted tasks. Organizing employee schedules and payrolls.

Asset registry: Keep track of, access, and exchange information about your assets, such as:

• Equipment class and type, as well as the manufacturer, model, and serial number
• Costs and tags associated with it
• Performance and downtime statistics by location and place
• Repair instructions, safety instructions, and warranties are among the associated documents, video, and photos.
• Meters, sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT) equipment availability

Management of work orders: Work order management, which is commonly regarded as the CMMS’s major purpose, comprises data such as:

• Number of the work order
• Priority and description
• Type of order (repair, replace, scheduled)
• Codes for cause and effect
• Assignment of personnel and supplies

Work order management also includes the following features:

• Automate the creation of work orders.
• Materials and equipment reservation
• Employees, crews, and shifts work assignment
• Examine the situation and keep track of any downtime.
• Keep track of both projected and actual costs.
• Documentation, repair, and safety media all attached.

Materials and inventory management: Maintenance and repair operation (MRO) equipment and materials are inventoried, distributed, and reclaimed among storage locations, distribution centres, and facilities. Manage suppliers, inventory costs, and restock automation.

Reporting, analysis and auditing: Produce reports on a variety of maintenance topics, including asset availability, material usage, labour and material expenditures, supplier evaluations, and more. Gather and organise data for audits and analyse data to understand asset availability, performance trends, MRO inventory optimization, and other information to support business choices.

Preventive and predictive maintenance: Automate work order creation based on time, consumption, or triggered events. Organize and associate assets across various orders by using preventative maintenance. Preventive work orders should be scheduled and sequenced.

Who is CMMS for?

Virtually any company or organization will benefit from the application of CMMS to their workflow. But ultimately, what will make or break a maintenance system are its users, so Interal designs its software with them in mind:

• For the user, consistent and accurate information on equipment, buildings, vehicles and control instruments will be vital..
• For the maintenance technician, our tools are simple to use and adapted to the ergonomics of any type of workflow. This enables easier reporting and documenting of asset maintenance.
• For the manager, CMMS offers transparent monitoring of repairs and the downtime caused by failures. Indeed, the financial implications of these procedures need to be controlled. Additionally, it will help calculate the life cycle of every asset held by the company or organization.

Be it a building, a mine, a processing plant or a fleet of vehicles, each asset is the basis of the performance and profitability of your company. Preventive maintenance will ensure long term durability and smooth operation without unexpected breakdowns or stoppages.

What to expect from CMMS implementation?

CMMS clients need to be wary of generic packages that offer the bare bones, ultimately making the service provided very limited in scope.

Conversely, there is the risk of delving into unnecessarily complex systems. Their downside is added expense, along with the need for added time to configure and learn all their functions.

Team training is essential when implementing a CMMS that will be properly used by maintenance departments in the long run.
