6. Computerized Maintenance Management System

Scheduling jobs, assigning personnel, reserving materials, recording costs, and tracking relevant information such as the cause of the problem (if any), downtime involved (if any), and recommendations for future action. Typically, the CMMS schedules preventive maintenance automatically based on maintenance plans and/or meter readings. Different software packages use different techniques for reporting when a job should be performed.

Inspection
Details condition of assets.
Preventive maintenance
Keeps track of preventive maintenance jobs, including step-by-step instructions or check-lists, lists of materials required, and other pertinent details.

Machine breakdown
Incidence of machine breakdown, details of repairs completed and repairs "to do". Preventive maintenance tasks are often undertaken during breakdown repair and so preventive maintenance tasks need to be rescheduled.

Inventory control
Management of spare parts, tools, and other materials including the reservation of materials for particular jobs, recording where materials are stored, determining when more materials should be purchased, tracking shipment receipts, and taking inventory.

Safety
Management of permits and other documentation required for the processing of safety requirements. These safety requirements can include lockout-tagout, confined space, foreign material exclusion (FME), electrical safety, and others
