Top 10 Benefits of a CMMS like Maxpanda

We’ve written about what a CMMS is, including its functionality options, such as helping to track and diagnose assets in your organization. Now it’s time to discuss how it benefits you, your team, and your facility or organization. This is just a small slice of the pie full of advantages:

1. Plan and Schedule Maintenance

   Maintenance scheduling is the process of making sure planned work is carried out. Appropriate preventive maintenance scheduling can reduce equipment downtime and increase reliability. The average CMMS solution offers planning, scheduling, and active monitoring of various work orders.

2. Manage Work Orders
   

   Most work orders are still issued with paper allowing for the loss of information and miscommunication. Using software for facilities management eliminates this by keeping all relevant information in a central location available on computers and mobile. CMMS software will enable you to configure work order forms with customized fields, automatically track all work orders, and capture their history and how many hours are lost looking for that one piece of paper.

3. Enhance Productivity
   

   Add fluidity to your team with the features of a mobile CMMS, which enables maintenance technicians to access real-time information, inventory, and work orders without returning to the office.

4. Reduce Downtime and Costs
   

   Downtime is costly in the form of revenue loss and asset damage. With a CMMS, you can regularly conduct asset maintenance, meaning they are less likely to break down.

5. Reduce Overtime
   

   Emergency repair calls increase costs and can cause catastrophic events depending on the facility. CMMS software reduces that need by scheduling preventative maintenance.

6. Ensure Compliance with Regulatory Standards
   

   Many organizations must comply with national and international regulatory standards and face periodic audits and inspections. CMMS software allows you to provide documented compliance, reduce prep time and provide detailed reports on work performed.

7. Standardized Maintenance Processes
   

   Keep everyone on the same path with documentation, repair manuals, and media that can be stored in the CMMS. This can be tied to the asset and corresponding work order.

8. Real-Time Asset Information
   

   Every piece of equipment needs to be continually monitored, and a CMMS allows you to have an overview of all maintenance operations and assets. You can check asset health statuses and historical data to track downtime and other issues.

9. Track, Report, and Manage Costs and KPIs
   

   CMMS software tracks every task, activity, cost, expense, and metric. This data enables you to make educated decisions on repair and replacement options.

In summary, the benefits of a CMMS outweigh any implementation costs. The money you can save with longer asset life, reduced downtime, and improved efficiency are indisputable. Implementing the right CMMS will win if your organization or facility requires maintenance.
