A computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) is essential for efficiently gathering, sorting, analyzing and acting on critical information related to equipment and facilities performance. Managers use this information to, among other things, set department priorities and justify equipment purchases.
But in too many cases, the CMMS does not produce the desired results, and managers face an array of obstacles in trying to ensure that the software has the capacity to successfully support a department’s mission.

This number of choices is enough to make any plant manager shudder. How can you pick the tool that is right for you? Is the decision left to your chief information officer (CIO) who may prefer a specific technology? Should it be the chief financial officer (CFO) who may be partial to the ERP system used for financials that also happens to have a maintenance module? How about the plant manager who is concerned about the growing complexity of regulatory compliance? Or the maintenance manager who may have specific functional needs?
