Preventive maintenance can impact the uptime and total life of key assets. Assets can easily cost more than they\u2019re worth, particularly as they age. Your oldest equipment might be costing you the least amount of money in repairs\u2014or the most\u2014but you\u2019ll only know if the data is there.<\/p>\n<p>CMMS can capture a wealth of data with every work order or scheduled preventive maintenance task. It can not only track the age of the equipment, but the miles, hours, life-to-date repair dollars, and many other metrics\u2014helping you decide when it becomes cheaper to replace an asset instead of repairing it. You can keep tabs on all asset types, including equipment, buildings, grounds, rooms, and vehicles.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Equipment_Maintenance_Scheduling\"><\/span>Equipment Maintenance Scheduling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Preventive maintenance planning in public works can extend equipment service life and help control costs. CMMS software will generate a schedule of PM tasks, making it simpler to follow the manufacturer\u2019s guidelines. Maintenance intervals can be scheduled based on asset or part condition, which triggers a work order just before the point when system inefficiencies or failures begin to occur.<\/p>\n<p>CMMS software can automate the tedious stuff (data entry, email, request approval), so you can focus on more important things. Also, you won\u2019t waste time looking for stuff because your CMMS database keeps the things your team needs (historical records, part information, vendor contact details, manuals, etc.) in easy-to-find places.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Control_Costs\"><\/span>Control Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Government agencies are always accountable to the public. So, controlling the cost of maintenance is always a major goal for maintenance teams. CMMS helps you capture key data and turns it into reliable information to help make cost-effective choices. You can use that data to budget appropriately for repairs and maintenance, as well as create replacement plans. The ability to provide detailed reports also can make maintenance costs more transparent to stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>When you use CMMS to schedule and track PMs, you\u2019ll reduce emergency maintenance issues and unexpected production stoppages. This, in turn, cuts overtime costs for emergency repairs and reduces production losses. If you know when and why an asset tends to break down, you can take steps to improve uptime. You can also schedule maintenance for off hours by tracking equipment use time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documentation_and_Compliance\"><\/span>Documentation and Compliance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Public works departments need to follow all related laws, policies, and regulations. CMMS helps your team follow the rules. It could be documentation about safety protocols for <a href=\"https:\/\/mpulsesoftware.com\/blog\/cmms\/how-cmms-software-can-help-you-meet-osha-requirements\/\">OSHA<\/a>, compliance regulations, or simply paperwork to support any liability issues. This type of documentation lies near and dear to your agency\u2019s legal and compliance departments.<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining compliance requires increasingly complex recordkeeping. That\u2019s where CMMS shines. Your software can keep the necessary audit trail for inspectors. Plus, a huge benefit of CMMS is the ability to drastically reduce that prep time.
