Cosmetics

In the cosmetics sector, maintenance is the subject of major challenges due to the numerous standards that weigh on this industry. The implementation of an efficient and adapted CMMS has now become essential for companies in the sector in order to comply with current regulations while increasing productivity.

The cosmetics industry is strongly oriented towards export, which subjects it to standards established by various national and international authorities. These are particularly stringent due to the potential consequences of manufacturing defects on consumer health.

These standards apply not only to the manufacture of cosmetic products themselves but also to all associated processes. The maintenance of machinery and industrial equipment is therefore concerned, both in its technical and health aspects and in the traceability of interventions carried out by technicians, in particular by the FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 standard for the American market.

To face all these constraints, manufacturers of cosmetic products have a strong interest in turning to a CMMS solution adapted to their sector to ensure compliant and effective maintenance management.

On the one hand, it must present serious guarantees in terms of the monitoring and traceability of maintenance interventions, access rights and electronic signatures of each document used within the company, to guarantee compliance with the standards in force.

On the other hand, it must give them the means to gain in productivity, by optimizing the work of maintenance operators but also by reducing the duration and frequency of production stoppages and by avoiding unexpected breakdowns while promoting compliance with safety regulations.

Finally, it must make it possible to quickly and easily provide audit trails in the event of quality control by an external organization in order to obtain certification or to verify the conformity of the factory and its processes with the standards that apply to its products.

Below you will find information on maintenance in the cosmetics industry and its challenges, advice for choosing the most suitable CMMS regardless of the maintenance strategy, corrective, curative, or preventive, that you apply, as well as testimonies from technicians and maintenance managers in the cosmetic sector who have chosen to adopt the Mobility Work application to optimize maintenance management within their factory.

Our CMMS platform is becoming increasingly popular with maintenance professionals in the cosmetics industry due in particular to its compliance with current standards in terms of managing privacy settings, user access rights and electronic signatures. Available in desktop and mobile versions, Mobility Work is accessible from any connected device, which facilitates the work of maintenance technicians and encourages them to scrupulously respect the standards for archiving documents and traceability of interventions. Its use does not require special technical skills and makes it easy to monitor the maintenance of each piece of equipment as well as the stocks of spare parts and the proper execution of maintenance plans.
