Monitoring dozens, if not hundreds, of assets in analog format is tedious. For this reason, high-performing organizations use maintenance management software to track everything from maintenance operations to inventory management.
Often interchangeably called Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), these platforms allow management to create, assign, and track recurring work orders; catalog facility assets by location, service date, and serial number; enhance compliance with digital audit trails; identify cost-savings opportunities with advanced reporting; and support condition-based monitoring with sensor technology.
Surprisingly, a whopping 44 percent of organizations still rely on paper records to plan their maintenance activities, according to a 2018 Plant Engineering Study. Learn More about free maintenance management software.
