Maintenance labour effectiveness will increase.More regulated preventive maintenance will increase equipment life and help to reduce emergency maintenance costs.Production saving will increase as unscheduled downtime decrease.Purchase costs of parts and materials will be reduced.Outside contract costs will be reduced.Regular report gives a more effective and up-to-date record of inventory/stores reports, work orders and physical maintenance reports, which will reduce cost of parts, inventory and labour. Reports also help increase management control.We will now look at some of these benefits in details:Generating work orderCurrently most form of CMMS are based on forms printed out for use by the maintenance workers. Workers enter information on the forms, which is re-entered into the system after the work is finished. Because the work order contains data entered directly by the technician, it is the focal point of a CMMS. The ability to prioritize work orders so they can accommodate each facility and functions has helped maintenance department considerably. For example some CMMS can prioritize work orders for each day so that those designated, as high priorities will automatically be first on the list orders to complete.Maintenance departments, therefore can more easily discern a high-priority task from one that is routine, helping organized and improve the departments efficiency.Tracking inventoryInventory modules on a CMMS have become especially helpful for facilities with more than one stores area. They allow the maintenance department to carefully track parts from the time they are logged in/or scanned in, in departments with bar coding capability to the time they are used. The module have been essential in helping departments set up purchasing schedules and track parts costs more carefully.Inventory modules also help streamline maintenance departments when they are linked to work order modules. I this scenario, the work order screen...
