This comprehensive approach is comprised of two proven implementation methodologies:1.The System Approach to Maintenance Management (SAMM)2.The Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) Life Cycle.These concepts have proven through practical applications in various maintenance environment, to be valuable aids to guide companies through the design and implementation of benefits-producing computerized maintenance management systems.At the core of both the SAMM and CMMS implementation Life Cycle is the concept of developing a complete system. The SAMM model is used to establish the relationship between the individual elements that comprises the complete maintenance management system. The CMMS Implementation life cycle lay out the process or series of activities to design, develop, implement, and effectively use the system.The SAMM ModelThe system approach to maintenance management (SAMM) reference model was created for two purposes. It primary use is to guide the design and implementation of new maintenance management system. Albeit, it is equally valuable when used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate ineffective, existing, computer assisted maintenance operations. It simplicity has made it a valuable educational aid to help facility manager and maintenance industry professional identify and understand the vital elements of a co...
