Equipment Maintenance Management And Software
The strategic goal of any production and
utilities department is to maximize production.
Machinery and equipment is run continuously, or
in batches. The equipment can be complex, as in
power plants' nuclear reactors, or as simple as
lathe machines. The goal to maximize production
is determined by the availability of the
equipment and its condition.

the maintenance department servicing production
and utilities departments is to ensure the
reliability and availability of the machines. The
operational goals of the maintenance department
require availability and scheduling of employees
for work orders, maintaining inventories for the
parts, and the analysis of maintenance-related
problems. Equipment maintenance management
software helps achieve the strategic and
operational goals of a maintenance organization.
These software control packages are available as
stand-alone applications customized for specific
requirements, or integrated end-to-end
solutions. At the strategic level, equipment MMS
helps top management to make decisions about the
purchase of equipment by providing data and
analysis of the cost of managing the assets, and
by providing data about the vendor and analysis
of the equipment provided by various vendors. At
the operations level, equipment MMS helps manage
the maintenance schedule of the equipment. The
software helps in the preventive and predictive
maintenance by analyzing the historic data of
the previous maintenance work orders. It also
helps decide the availability of the equipment
and the duration of the work. An integrated
solution helps in optimizing the inventories by
determining the

parts usage and reorder time. Equipment MMS is
ideally suited for small and medium-sized
enterprises for which the entire integrated
solutions may be very expensive. The decision to
install equipment MMS should be guided by the
requirements of the organizations and the
features of the software.
