To help, we\u2019ve shared three of the most common mistakes in maintenance management and offered tips to help you avoid them. 1. Making Decisions Based on Assumptions While there was a time that maintenance managers needed to make assumptions about what worked for their operations, those days are gone. New technology (i.e., CMMS software)\u00a0and tools make information available for data-driven decision making. Which means your decisions are backed up by hard data, not guesswork.

While on-site or classroom training may not be realistic for your organization, you have plenty of other options\u2014including online training and mentor programs.

Refusing to Change with the Times Maintenance management has changed rapidly in a short time. And while you might feel like things worked just fine before, staying the course means missed opportunities. Technology has taken the maintenance professional by storm, and it\u2019s not going away.
