What Does CMMS System Stand For

A CMMS System stands for Computer Managed Maintenance System. For any business that has a fleet of cars, or a range of machines to maintain a CMMS System is something of very high importance. Before technology started to become so useful, people would just work out when motors needed rebuilding, bearings needed greasing and all of those other maintenance techniques that need to be applied. Of course, the issue with this is that it relies on people to remember when things were last done, and the frequency that the job needs to occur at.

With a CMMS System, you are able to enter in the individual machines and pieces of equipment (or cars/trucks etc) and then add jobs with a certain frequency. These will come out on specific dates (you are in control of this) and it will tell you what needs to be done, who needs to do it, what parts are required, where the parts are located and it will even work out the costs associated with the job. By having a CMMS System maintenance is a lot simpler, and it allows you to put jobs together, minimizing any down time.

By doing this, you can save thousands of dollars every month. Preventative maintenance ensures that you have limited break downs, and hence saves you a lot of money. Preventative maintenance is cheaper than Reactive Maintenance, and with a good CMMS program you can easily control even the largest of factories. Many companies with fleets of cars run these programs to remind them when cars need servicing, tire rotations, new tires and to calculate fuel costs and much more.
