"CMMS" stands for Computerized Maintenance Management System — a software solution that
helps organizations manage, automate, and streamline maintenance operations.
Here’s a clear overview:
🛠 What is a CMMS?
A CMMS is used to:
Schedule preventive maintenance
Track work orders
Manage assets and equipment
Monitor inventory/spare parts
Generate reports and KPIs (e.g., downtime, MTTR, cost)
It’s common in industries like:
Manufacturing
Utilities (power, water)
Facility management
Oil & Gas
Healthcare (for hospital equipment)

Inventory shortages delay repairs
No record of who fixed what or when
With CMMS:
Maintenance is scheduled automatically
Spare parts reorders are timely
Work history and asset costs are logged
