The above listing illustrates most of the functions, which may be available in a CMMS. It is extremely important however, that prospective purchasers ask themselves a few questions before making any decisions. Many companies spend thousands of pounds on complex, integrated systems for which they have little use. It is only after they are installed that it becomes apparent that perhaps only 5 to 10% of the available functions will be used. You must be clear on the following:
Do you have the resources and the commitment to implement the system? Remember that in even a medium sized company a significant amount of time will be required to collect and input data. Someone will be required to create a library of maintenance procedures where this does not already exist.
Are you willing to provide support and administer the system on an on-going basis? The extent of this support will clearly be dependent on the size of your system.
Do you require the system to control your stores and or purchasing? Are you willing to commit the people power to input the data for this?
Do you need it for accounting purposes or just maintenance control?
Do you really need a multi-user system, and if so, how many people are likely to use it? Remember that this should be based on who is likely to use it, not who you would like to use it.
On multi-user systems, are you willing to commit your personnel to the training, which is likely to be required?
In conclusion, much thought and discussion must take place before any decision can be made on your requirements.
