CMMS, what are the challenges for your maintenance department?

Does your current CMMS system no longer respond to the various daily problems of the company? In order to maximize the benefits of your maintenance strategy, it is important to have the right tools.

CMMS: a tool for reducing costs

Costs and planning

La reduction of maintenance budgets must lead the company to rethink its operation in terms of scheduling and machine availability. The daily traceability of maintenance actions, requested and controlled by the various customers during their audits, must lead companies to completely overhaul the functioning of their maintenance department if they want to remain competitive.

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

Many businesses operate on the principle of a “business plan”. The advantage is to be able to draw up a financial plan for the coming years taking into account the evolution of the company. This type of plan is often requested from the industrialization manager in order to define the provisional maintenance budget.

Indicators and analytical monitoring

However, to understand the evolution of the company, it is necessary to be able to estimate the life period of the machine park through various indicators such as failure rates. The problem is often the same when it comes to justifying investments in new equipment: it is impossible to know the cost of an equipment, or even to know if it has been amortized or if annual maintenance on the equipment is more expensive than the purchase of new equipment.

Budget creation

Cross-referencing information for greater simplicity

The current situation leads the manager to have to optimize maintenance operations while reducing costs to a minimum. Easily connectable to any ERP, Mobility Work's next-generation CMMS makes it possible to obtain all the information necessary to create a maintenance budget, to invest in new equipment and, above all, to reduce maintenance costs. It can be considered as a real database on maintenance service activity. At a time when the maintenance manager is asked to justify all the interventions carried out, during a labor inspection or a customer audit, Mobility Work CMMS makes it possible to obtain as much information as possible in order to justify the choices made.

The establishment of the Mobility Work next-gen CMMS also represents an organizational challenge with the improvement of the management of the maintenance service as well as the various interventions to be carried out. The aim is to optimize the functioning of the various technicians according to their skills while taking into account the automatic planning of certain maintenance interventions. The entire functioning of the maintenance department will be reviewed and improved through the implementation of a preventive maintenance plan thanks to Mobility Work CMMS.

CMMS, at the crossroads of maintenance and production

The current business context is creating new requirements in terms of production rate that could be described as essential. This requires an improvement in production efficiency and better machine availability. Thus, better monitoring of maintenance interventions should make it possible to optimize maintenance interventions by reducing failure times and also to improve equipment productivity.

The forecasts of the Mobility Work analytics tool are based on data collected from thousands of users working on the same equipment.

Finally the Mobility Work CMMS “Big Data” analytical tool also allows the manager to make the right decisions concerning the maintenance actions to be carried out on each piece of equipment and thus to avoid certain recurrent breakdowns that would be likely to block the entire production chain.
