This means that as maintenance staff, you are under enormous pressure in your daily work. You do not only have to quickly identify the problem, fix it and manage spare parts, you should also, for example, maintain an overview of complex SAP systems. But how is it possible to overcome these challenges in the long term and minimise downtime at the same time? The answer lies in digital maintenance managers, so-called Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS).
Efficient incident management is crucial in order to quickly identify and resolve problems and to resume operations. Maintenance manager systems generally offer everything you need to tackle repair tasks quickly and precisely, from error logs to spare parts lists. These types of platforms enable you to create incident reports promptly and collect all information. This is also important for solving future problems, as intelligent search algorithms help to identify similar problems from the past. This allows you to find solutions and fix issues quickly, and minimises downtime and maximises productivity too.
A CMMS allows you to optimise processes. Seamless integration with other company systems such as SAP enables maintenance teams to work more efficiently. Machines and data are synchronised in the maintenance manager. This enables inventory management to be automated and improves spare parts management. It also minimises tedious administrative work and ensures that the required spare parts are available on time.
In addition to optimising incident management and integration with SAP, maintenance managers also offer a range of features that have a positive impact on related processes. The centralised management of maintenance data and documentation improves the efficiency of the entire maintenance department.
Maintenance managers usually offer an automated management function, which gives you the option to view the spare parts stock in real time. The benefits of efficient spare parts management are numerous:
