Preventive work that actually happens
Maintenance schedules hold the plan: each preventive task runs by calendar, by meter reading or both, with a next-due date and its checklist, and work orders are raised from the schedule and assigned to an engineer. The measure of a CMMS is not that it can record a work order but that planned work stops being crowded out by breakdowns.
Failure codes, downtime and mean time between failures accumulate per asset, so the case for replacing a machine is made from your own history rather than from a supplier brochure.
Spare parts costed to the job
Spare parts have their own register with part number, compatible assets, storage location, supplier and minimum, current and maximum stock. The parts used on a work order are added to it and roll into its cost, next to labour and contractor charges.
Because labour, parts and external costs are captured per work order, maintenance cost can be reported by asset, department and cost centre, and the case for repair or replacement rests on figures rather than impressions.
Contractors, permits and compliance
External contractors, service contracts and warranty terms are tracked against the asset, and a work order flagged as needing a permit to work cannot start or close until that permit is active.
For regulated sites the evidence matters as much as the work: inspections, certificates and their expiry are recorded against the asset and reportable on demand.
Common questions
How does the CMMS schedule preventive maintenance?
Each preventive task is a schedule that runs by calendar, by meter reading or both, with a next-due date and its checklist; work orders are raised from the schedule and assigned to an engineer. The measure of a CMMS is not that it can record a work order but that planned work stops being crowded out by breakdowns.
How are spare parts handled?
Through the CMMS spare-parts register: part number, manufacturer, compatible assets, storage location, supplier and minimum, current and maximum stock. Parts used on a work order are added to it and roll into its cost, so the cost of every job is visible per asset.
What reliability history does it build?
Failure codes, downtime and mean time between failures accumulate per asset. The case for replacing a machine is then made from your own history rather than from a supplier brochure.
Can permits to work be enforced before a job closes?
Yes. A work order flagged as needing a permit cannot be started or completed until its permit to work is active, and external contractors, service contracts and warranty terms are tracked against the asset they relate to.
How is compliance evidence kept for regulated sites?
For regulated sites the evidence matters as much as the work. Inspections, certificates and their expiry dates are recorded against the asset and reportable on demand, rather than gathered in a hurry when an inspector asks.
