CMMS: 5 arguments to improve your maintenance

CMMS: what is the advantage for your maintenance?

The adoption of a CMMS solution (computer-aided maintenance management) is an important decision for any business owner. Often, they don't dare take the plunge, for fear that their employees will only see it as a technological barrier. Although they are still attractive, Excel spreadsheets are in fact time-consuming and have little added value on the availability and reliability of equipment.

Senior profiles are undoubtedly one of the organization's most valuable assets. It is therefore not surprising that their managers are afraid of imposing radically different working methods on them, which would profoundly change their maintenance routines.

Many of you already understood it: the digital transition is inevitable, and those who are not committed to it are missing out on a competitive advantage. Deploying a maintenance solution is an important step in the growth of a business..

Deploy a quick and easy maintenance application

The latest maintenance solutions have been specially designed to make the daily life of maintenance technicians of all ages easier: they most often have an intuitive interface and do not require prior technical training.

Here are five undeniable advantages of a new generation CMMS that will help you convince your maintenance teams of the added value of such a solution.

Increase in operational profitability

The level of operational profitability depends largely on the workload of technicians, the urgency and difficulty of the tasks assigned to them. It is not uncommon for a lack of communication between the various departments of the organization to hinder the smooth running of maintenance operations, thereby causing additional production downtime and customer dissatisfaction. In the same way, spare parts purchases do not always correspond to the real needs of maintenance teams.

Thanks to their maintenance solution, maintenance managers plan all their interventions and plan on-call teams for possible emergency interruptions.

It is also possible to estimate the time required for an intervention by accessing, at any time, the history of operations carried out on an equipment. If necessary, technicians can receive alerts on their new generation CMMS as soon as an intervention is necessary. In addition, at any time of the day, each team member can know what task their colleagues have been assigned to.

Optimization of spare parts management

Nothing is more irritating for a maintenance professional than to notice, in the middle of their maintenance intervention, the absence of an important spare part. Thanks to the new generation of maintenance software, all this is a thing of the past! It is now possible to optimize the management of its stocks thanks to a better organization of all maintenance documents relating to past, present and future interventions. The addition of a QR code on each piece of equipment also guarantees immediate access to key information relating to maintenance plans and spare parts stocks.

A mobile maintenance management application allows you to save time and money by identifying the criticality level of your equipment, as well as the exact number of spare parts required.

Increased responsiveness thanks to the mobile application

Thanks to its mobile version, take your maintenance application everywhere with you. Whether you are in the workshop or in your office, you stay informed of the operations carried out by your teams. Are you looking for an image, a Word document, equipment maintenance reports, or sensor data? All of this information is now at your fingertips. As a maintenance manager, you can even assign a task to a technician in a matter of moments. But that's not all!

A new generation mobile CMMS is a versatile maintenance management platform. The Mobility Work application offers its users access to the first community maintenance application, as well as to a platform dedicated to suppliers of industrial equipment and consumables. Thanks to these supports, they can exchange with other industrial players such as maintenance managers or technicians as well as production managers.

All the news relating to current interventions are available from the news feed of the Mobility Work mobile application, available on iOS and Android

Reduced downtime through predictive maintenance

By streamlining daily maintenance routines, CMMS applications ensure the success of your planned preventive maintenance actions. Unlike the reactive maintenance approach where equipment is used until failure occurs, preventive (or predictive) maintenance routines are planned according to various criteria (data on the real condition of the equipment, manufacturer recommendations, maintenance history, etc.) in order to anticipate a possible malfunction before it occurs. The maintenance manager can now draw up his maintenance plan for the coming weeks based on production stoppages and assign a team to each task. No more the stress of unexpected breakdowns: all interventions are defined in advance and each employee knows his role.

The calendar feature offered by Mobility Work allows you to plan all your preventive and predictive maintenance interventions.

By organizing the maintenance cycle of your factory using your next-generation application, you guarantee your team greater room for development.

Once accustomed to preventive maintenance routines, teams are often ready to go further, the next step being to install smart sensors on the most important equipment in order to develop real-time monitoring practices and operational plans. predictive (or predictive) maintenance.

Improving plant performance

Equipment performance, production results or delivery times: every day, maintenance professionals must assume important responsibilities. It is a job in constant evolution, which requires a lot of knowledge and skills. Mobility Work was designed to simplify the daily life of maintenance teams and help them get organized.

Moreover, there is an increase in team productivity by improving the traceability of maintenance operations and tools, as well as the implementation of maintenance plans. In addition, the more maintenance teams are able to carry out their interventions correctly, the more the company will optimize its industrial maintenance expenses and improve its KPIs.

The adoption of a new generation maintenance management software such as Mobility Work simplifies the daily tasks of the maintenance team and makes significant savings.

Nowadays, the deployment of a maintenance management solution is a key factor in the success of production cycles. Very often, traditional solutions are expensive and difficult for employees to adopt due to their lack of maneuverability. The intuitive interface of the Next generation CMMS Mobility Work facilitates this transition, with no assistance or training required.

When we developed Mobility Work, our team was inspired by the mobile applications we know. A new generation CMMS must be versatile, intelligent, and easy to use in order to meet the needs of maintenance professionals.
