Frequently Asked Question About CMMS
What can a CMMS system do for my plant or facility?
A CMMS system can create automatic maintenance orders; log equipment usage, downtime and other events; track maintenance history and parts inventories, and create detailed reports on every aspect of facility equipment assets.
What is the difference between CMMS, CAFM and FMS systems?
There is really very little difference between these. Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) systems and Facilities Management Systems (FMS) are essentially the same thing are are optimized for facilities as opposed to industrial plants, which is the general province of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS).
What are the typical cost savings by implementing a CMMS system?
This depends somewhat on the software and how well the CMMS is implemented. On average, one can save between 5% and 15% of the annual maintenance budget using CMMS.

Office buildings and facilities.
IT assets, including computers, network hardware and software.
Industrial plants and manufacturing plants.
