Why Preventive Maintenance Is a Critical Part or Operations Planning

What can your organization do when its maintenance department is too busy with reactive maintenance (firefighting) to perform preventive maintenance on its assets? The short answer is to either find a way to do more with the same amount of resources or find a way for maintenance to be more efficient and effective.
Finding more time to have proactive maintenance department will not happen overnight. However, the first step can happen immediately by making a decision to make use of computerized maintenance management software (CMMS).

What Implementing a CMMS Does?

When maintenance or facilities management implements a CMMS several things will begin to happen. The first is that your organization makes a commitment to knowing where all your assets are and the condition they are in. The second most important thing that occurs is when maintenance managers realize that by automating manual processes and scheduling work using their CMMS system they suddenly have more time available.
This is all accomplished by using the CMMS to create a database of all asset detail including location, description, serial number, date purchased, cost as well as all associated vendor information and asset documentation. Once the asset detail is loaded into the CMMS, assets can then be scheduled for preventive maintenance
, inspections and repairs without filling out paper forms.
