Synopsis

A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is one of the critical foundational elements necessary for the implementation of Best Practices for Maintenance and Operations. The CMMS is designed to automate standardized business processes, collect historical information and leverage the computer s ability to quickly sort and analyze large amounts of data. This proactive tool when properly implemented and utilized provides accurate and timely data, enabling informed maintenance and operational management decisions. The effectiveness of a CMMS is directly proportional to the types, consistency and integrity of the data input to the system. The system configuration, implementation and subsequent utilization will establish the quality and effectiveness of this data. This book helps explain what those foundational elements are and how they are best used.

Review

This concise, very readable book offers sound counsel to all parties dealing with Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS). Dave unselfishly shares knowledge gained through many years providing hands-on support to clients helping them to work through a variety of pitfalls frequently encountered before a CMMS installation yields its full potential. The book effectively and concisely delivers essential CMMS insights and shares experiences of a knowledgeable professional; thereby helping readers to: Understand the many required inputs to, and the proactive applications of a comprehensive CMMS installation Realize and appreciate the magnitude of commitment, support, and investment required to gain an effectively functional CMMS. The full investment, including internal as well as external costs, is several multiples of the initial cost for CMMS software. Realize the many reliability and cost-control benefits of a successful CMMS installation Avoid the many pitfalls of a poor CMMS installation Appreciate the wisdom of an assessment prior to replacement of an existing, under-performing system with a next generation system. An assessment addresses an important question: Is a next generation system absolutely needed, or is an effective reinstallation of the current system all that is needed. There is little point of making another major investment if the local organization has not reaped the full benefit of the current CMMS. All parties can benefit from digestion and application of the excellent guidance and wisdom divulged within this book. It offers important insights throughout the CMMS process: from specification of desired system attributes to justification, software selection, establishment of installation plan and team, start-up, application, and debugging as necessary. It also explains: Inputs to, outputs from, and applications of each CMMS module Preparation for a successful installation of a new or upgraded CMMS, or for reinstallation of a system that has been poorly installed ( How to retrieve a Problematic Installation . --Don Nyman Author of The 15 Most common Obstacles to World Class Reliability
