What is a CMMS?

If you manage a manufacturing plant, you know how important it is to keep track of your equipment and inventory. CMMS software can help you do just that.

CMMS is an abbreviation for Computerized Maintenance Management System, similar to Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software. Also called preventive maintenance software, asset management software, and work order software, a CMMS solution's primary function is maintenance management. Maintenance management software gives users valuable insight into their maintenance operations, from detailed work order schedules to KPIs and reports. CMMS software can help you improve your maintenance processes, reduce downtime, and increase asset reliability. Maintenance software is proven to help increase productivity, reduce the total cost of ownership, and lower spare parts usage.

Zoidii is the best CMMS for manufacturing

How does a CMMS benefit a manufacturing plant?

CMMS software can be a great asset to any manufacturing plant. You can keep your manufacturing plant running smoothly and efficiently with the right CMMS software.

Efficient Work Order Management

Proper work order management is critical to the success of any manufacturing operation. Yet, in today's world of computers and automation, many maintenance managers still receive work requests via phone, post-it notes, Whatsapp, or email. CMMS software gives manufacturing plants a formal work order process. It manages the work order digitally from creation to completion, enabling you to:

Submit, triage, assign, review, and analyze your work orders.
Schedule and trigger preventive maintenance work orders.
Automatically send notifications to relevant parties when the CMMS software generates new work orders.
Include parts, checklists, repair images, manuals, and notes in your work orders.
Fail tasks and automatically create follow-on work orders

Automation of maintenance processes

Filing paperwork, printing work order forms, drawing preventive maintenance schedules, planning work, and writing up part room requisitions is time-consuming. Each step requires meticulous coordination as folks pass papers and information to each other. CMMS software can automate several processes in your manufacturing plant, including automatically:

Trigger time-based preventive maintenance when due
Trigger meter-based preventive maintenance when meters reach a certain threshold
Sending out communication updates as the work order is processed
Depleting stock from inventory when consumed on work orders
Creating follow-on work orders
Setting the next due for fixed or floating PM schedule

Instant access to equipment records

With CMMS software, maintenance data lives in one centralized location, which makes it easier for employees to access information and make informed decisions. Technicians can open the asset record and see all recent activities, asset histories, upcoming PMs, parts used, and logged meter readings.

Retain the knowledge

Many maintenance teams tend to rely on key individuals, so if they leave, then a lot of valuable maintenance-related information walks out the door with them. The CMMS system can help transfer knowledge across the maintenance group by giving technicians access to accurate equipment history and team activities. The more information and knowledge in the CMMS, the more productive the team will become.

Mobile access

Maintenance has always been mobile, so the CMMS should be too. Selecting CMMS software with a mobile/tablet version will increase productivity and reduce redundancy in a manufacturing plant. Technicians can document activities on their mobile CMMS as they complete their work in the manufacturing plant. They can search through historical work orders for similar issues or check inventory levels in the parts warehouse right from the palm of their hands.

Quick & easy pull reports

CMMS software helps maintenance leaders get a 10,000ft view of their maintenance operation across the plant. CMMS systems have reports, KPIs and Dashboards, so pulling maintenance metrics such as planned maintenance percentage is a sinch.

Real-time visibility on inventory

CMMS software gives maintenance managers, planners, and technicians real-time visibility on inventory levels. Stock is depleted from inventory as the part is consumed on work orders, ensuring parts on hand in the CMMS reflect the actual inventory levels on hand on the shelves.

Better prepared for audits

Searching through paper and excel for work order histories, PMs completed, and parts used can be time-consuming and challenging to complete. CMMS software alleviates the audit headaches through a digital paper trail that most compliance audits look for to assess how a company has adhered to standards.

Top Five CMMS features for manufacturing plants

Be sure the CMMS has just the functionality required to satisfy the business requirements. The top five CMMS features used in manufacturing plants are:

Guest Request Portal

The guest request portal simplifies and streamlines how folks outside the maintenance organization report issues. It gives manufacturing operations folks on the floor the ability to report issues to the maintenance team through one central location.

Work Order Management

The work order module gives you a platform to manage your work orders efficiently. Maintenance personnel can submit, review, filter, assign and analyze your work orders, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Nest Complex PMs

Nested PMs allow organizations to incorporate preventive maintenance of increasing complexity and duration into one single PM. Nested PMs functionality lets minor PMs get bypassed by major PMs when due at the same time.

Checklists

Documenting what you do through standard operating procedures and checklists helps institutionalize and systemize your maintenance processes within your organization. Checklists functionality ensures everyone is on the same page through step-by-step instructions to complete a process.

Asset Logbook

The asset logbook gives a complete history of each asset in chronological order, helping technicians quickly evaluate the asset condition.

Tips when selecting CMMS software for manufacturing plants

End User

Your end-users will be critical to the project's success. If the system is too complicated for their skill set, they won't use it. So, pick CMMS software that is user-friendly. Try the different CMMS applications before you buy and see how quickly you can figure out the application without formal training.

Company Fit

Don't get star-struck by all the bells and whistles. Outline your business requirements before looking at CMMS systems, and right-size the CMMS software and the implementation to the capabilities of your business.

Vendor

Find a credible vendor to partner with you and make you successful. Test each vendor's customer support by reviewing their knowledge base and calling their support line with a fictional issue before signing up.

Current Processes

Understand the process you want to manage within the CMMS system, from preventive maintenance to back to production checklists. Map out how the system will work with your current mnufacturing processes and systems.

Implementing CMMS software in a manufacturing plant

If you're thinking about installing a CMMS system, there are several things you need to consider before doing so:

Ensure you understand how the system will work with your current mnufacturing processes and systems.

Determine whether you need a new maintenance system or just a better one.

Decide whether you should use a cloud-based CMMS solution like Zoidii or install the software locally.

Think about who will use the maintenance system and how often they will use it.
