Description
Effective resource management and reliable equipment are essential for optimum plant performance. Computer-Managed Maintenance Systems
goes beyond the simple selection and implementation of a CMMS. It also defines the changes in infrastructure, management philosophy and
employee skills that must be implemented to gain maximum benefits from the CMMS. The book is designed to address the information needs
of all levels of plant management.
In this new edition, the authors have added a chapter specifically on the latest technology, Application
Solution Providers (ASP) that has revolutionized the way CMMS are used and the benefits they can offer to a business. This solution provides
integrated software, hardware and networking technology along with Information Technology (IT) consulting services into an outsourced
package. A new appendix on Key Performance Indicators has also been added.
Audience
Maintenance managers, plant and facility managers, maintenance engineers
