Why do I need CMMS? After all, we seem to be getting along very well without CMMS ...as far as I can tell. We replace a motor now and then, we lose some production some time, because of a break-down, or we wait a week to get parts. The maintenance budget has been exceeded by 10% to 20% the last few years - this year it looks like it will be around 30% to 40%. We had a few major breakdowns and a lot of over-time hours, as maintenance had to work a few days around the clock, plus the parts had to be rushed-in from over-seas. Now that I am starting to think about it, I have noticed a lot more contractors on-site the last 6 months and we have no major projects going on.
Just now, as I am thinking about this... the Plant Superintendent came into my office and is telling me that we missed a major shipment to our Number-One customer and we will not be able to fill the order for a week. A few months back, we missed a shipment to this same customer and because of this missed shipment they pulled their contract. As it turns out, without this contract we will need to let half the work-force go and if we cannot land another major contract, we will have to shut the doors.
I bet a lot of you who are reading this have lived it ...or have heard it before. I will be honest, CMMS is not the cure all but it dose help to avoid a lot of the pain.
