CMMSLearn how CMMS software can be used to help eliminate

maintenance challenges your facility is facing


4

CMMS stands for Computerized Maintenance Management System and is software that is designed to simplify and improve maintenance operations for various industries.

CMMS software streamlines and automates maintenance, asset, and preventative maintenance operations.

With a CMMS the maintenance department can plan, track, measure and optimize everything to do with maintenance on a digital platform.

What is a CMMS• Asset Management: Track all of your assets,

including virtual ones. Know when they were obtained, how they are used and what their original value was.

• Work Orders: Automatically generate work orders according to a preset maintenance schedule and respond to service requests.

• Mobile CMMS: CMMS Mobile application is multifaceted, providing technicians the ease of completing preventative and demand work orders directly in the field.

Preventive Maintenance

Control and prevent unnecessary downtime


6

This type of maintenance is designed to avoid breakdowns and increase safety for workers. In preventative maintenance, technicians calibrate machinery and update parts, such as hoses, belts or other pieces that wear out regularly to avoid the equipment going down unexpectedly.

Preventive maintenance measures are planned and performed on equipment with the purpose of ensuring that failures do not occur and to lessen the consequences of breakdowns.

A preventive maintenance plan is ideal when a maintenance manager can prevent any malfunction of their equipment or can predict and plan for this failure so it has the least possible impact.

Preventive maintenance is an important part of facility maintenance management, planned maintenance helps to improve equipment life and avoid any unplanned maintenance activity.

Predictive Maintenance

Predict when equipment failure might occur


8

Predictive maintenance also provides the means to improve productivity, product quality and overall effectiveness of manufacturing environments.

Predictive Maintenance allows for safety compliance, preemptive corrective actions, and increased asset life. By looking ahead, and knowing what failure is likely to occur when, pre-emptive investigations, maintenance schedule adjustments, and repairs can be performed before the asset fails.

“On average, predictive maintenance increases

productivity by 25%, reduces breakdowns by

70% and lowers maintenance costs by

25%”

What is Predictive MaintenancePredictive Maintenance is based on the collection, management, and intelligent use of data. This method focuses on “asset health,” performing services and repairs based on the asset’s failure to meet prescribed performance objectives.

Predictive maintenance techniques are designed to help determine the condition of in-service equipment in order to predict when maintenance should be performed.Adapting a Predictive Maintenance strategy requires an understanding of how and why asset failure occurs and identifying the warning signs of potential problems or failure.

Difference between Preventive & Predictive

MaintenanceThese are two different types of maintenance that you

should be able to differentiate


10

Predictive and preventive maintenance are both planned procedures to keep your assets running smoothly. The main difference is, predictive maintenance tasks are usually performed when the machines are running in production mode and preventive maintenance is done when the machines are shut down.

Using preventive maintenance in conjunction with a predictive and reactive maintenance strategy, you can control costs while managing downtime and maximizing uptime.

A properly implemented CMMS will manage, capture, and track inspection, maintenance, and repair activities for cost containment, risk reduction, as well as improving the customer experience. When you combine a CMMS with Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), you can eliminate costly machine downtime and shift to preventive maintenance.

“The top advantage to a predictive

maintenance strategy is a low initial

cost, followed by ease of use, while a

preventive maintenance strategy also

boasts low initial cost, ease of use,

and other key benefits—such as

decreased downtime, cost effective

overall, and improved safety”

Benefits of Preventive Maintenance

Reasons why preventive maintenance is important


12

• Equipment downtime is decreased and the number of major repairs is reduced

• Better management of assets and increased life expectancy of assets

• Reduced overtime costs and more economical use of maintenance workers

• Timely, routine repairs by-pass fewer large-scale repairs

• Improved safety and quality conditions for everyone

Benefits of Preventive Maintenance

5 Reasons why a facility needs Preventive Maintenance:

• Saves Money• Maximizes efficiency• Prolongs equipment life• Reduces maintenance costs• Improves safety and reliability

Preventive Maintenance

ChecklistA checklist for your preventive maintenance is vital in

keeping your facility and equipment running safely and

efficiently.


14

Preventive Maintenance Checklist


Checklist for Safety

• Inspect personal protection equipment, including safety glasses, gloves, respirators, and other equipment, and replace anything worn or damaged

• Keep all first-aid kits stocked, especially after use• Check and restock all eyewash stations and bottles• Inspect, repair, or replace any fall-protection kits

Checklist for Equipment:

• Ensure that machinery is clear of debris.• Wipe machine surfaces of lubricant, dirt and other loose debris.• Regularly inspect tools for wear.• Routinely check all machinery fluid levels and air filters and replace them as needed.• Calibrate machines regularly.• Regularly check belts for damage.• Clean belts and other equipment in direct contact with materials and inventory.• Check and maintain motors and other power sources.

Checklist for Buildings and Facilities:

• Ensure that adequate space exists between equipment.• Confirm that safety and caution areas are sufficiently marked.• Keep walkways and other traffic areas clear of debris and any other material.• Guarantee that wires are properly secured and do not present a hazard.• Check stairway and walkway railings regularly.• Inspect structural building elements.• Comprehensively check and repair building systems (electrical, plumbing, network).• Examine fire detectors and remain in compliance with local regulations.• Assess external grounds, including parking facilities, for hazards.• Check your roof.
