CMMS: for FM

This book is designed to aid with the use of the many commercial CMMS systems found in the market place.We have used a database authored on MS Access to illustrate the processes required to get the system fully functional. Remember the term "Junk in, Junk out" is what you get if you do put junk into the system.Do not put too much into the database in terms of assets, as the main item is generally all you will require and the nuts and bolts will only overload the system making it very slow. We know you will find this book interesting so we wish you the best of luck in your endeavours to using a CMMS.The Computerised Maintenance Management System is used on most FM sites as you can keep track on all events and maintenance efforts as well as Statutory requirements. You can set it up to provide history information also use it life cycle management, reporting and you can track all costs for budgeting purposes. It is well worth knowing how such a system works as it will save you lots of effort creating Excel spreadsheets to do the same thing.
