me these resources. Therefore, these resources must be judiciously planned and allocated for each task to assure implementation success.People the human element that energized the system, are undoubtedly the most important. Ironically, the importance of people to the system equation is often the most overlooked and taken for granted. Before the technology will be accepted into the organization, as a tool to enhance the work practices, the people who use the technology must become it owners. For user ownership to occur, the end-user must be involved in all stages of the system implementation.Time there is never enough of it when it comes to the implementation of a CMMS. It is the resource that is often underestimated during system implementation planning. People are assigned to the project; however, in many cases their time is not. This often leads to incomplete CMMS projects.Money is usually the first consideration when planning begins. As with any major facility project, the finical costs must be estimated and allocated to each task. The cost of computer equipment and software is often a lesser expensive. The cost for intangible services must be factored into the budget as well. These include personnel cost for planning, education and training, software development/selection, database development, and other implementation efforts.Information TechnologyInformation technology includes computers hardware, software applications, and peripheral equipment. The SAMM model incorporates the technology as the tool of maintenance management automation. Tools that become effective instruments for managing information only when applied to the task by trained and motivated people. The benefits of automation are achieved during the process of using the computer tools to more efficiently complete maintenance work processes. The DatabaseThe database is the vital source of information for operating any maintenance management department. The SAMM model...
