A CMMS, or computerized maintenance management system, maintains a database of information about a company’s assets, property, inventory, employees and more. Also known as preventive maintenance software, or facility management work order software, a CMMS is used by maintenance departments to maintain their assets. This includes issuing work orders, scheduling preventive maintenance, and allocating resources.

Preventive Maintenance Software

Preventive maintenance software can help maintenance workers do their jobs more effectively. It also helps management make informed decisions about their assets, as the database holds a wealth of information about maintenance costs, time spent on repairs, cost of parts needed to repair and more.

Facility management work order software can be used by any organization that performs maintenance on equipment, assets or property. From hospitals needing maintenance on healthcare equipment, to a school performing maintenance on playground equipment, a CMMS organizes and simplifies the work order management process.

A variety of reports can be printed from a preventive maintenance software package. Some of these reports include: summaries of asset performance, asset cost, time to repair, number of work orders issued, mean time between failure, labor allocation, vendor purchases and more.

Facility management work order software modules

Some of the more common modules of facility management work order software include:

A work order module for scheduling jobs, assigning labor, reserving parts, recording costs, inputting the cause of the problem, and recording downtime.

An asset management module for recording data about the equipment or property. This might include specifications, purchase information, warranties, repair history, bill of materials and more.

An inventory module for keeping track of parts and tools necessary for maintaining the company’s assets. This module maintains information on where the parts are stored, their cost, and purchase information.

There are many more modules in a preventive maintenance software package. The above three are the main components in a typical CMMS.  All modules work together seamlessly to streamline your company’s maintenance operations.
