CMMS Implementation/Enhancement
Brief. Advisory First estimates that 80% of U.S.industry uses less than 20% of the potential available from their Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS). The main reason is that most CMMS providers are software experts but are not experts in maintenance and reliability programs. As a result, the CMMS is not configured to optimize asset reliability. In many cases, the new CMMS is not much more than a high speed work order generator. Advisory First has solid expertise in all facets of CMMS including selection, installation, implementation and enhancements including training your people. CMMS is the cornerstone for an effective maintenance and reliability program.
Benefits. We estimate that an effectively used CMMS can lead to ROI in the area of 8-15:1. Our most recent CMMS project was for one of the largest Oil and Gas Pipelines in North America. It included selection of the CMMS provider, database migration to the new CMMS, configuration, metrics and reports and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify critical equipment failure modes. If you have any uncertainty about the effectiveness of your CMMS, or, are in the market for an upgrade, AF can perform a Benchmarking Assessment to identify areas of opportunity and expected ROI gains and then manage installation, configuration and beta testing.
