Test
True / False
1. ___ The Preventive Maintenance module of a CMMS is the main module through which all the data flows.
2. ___ Maintenance Planning and Scheduling is key to effective use of a CMMS.
3. ___ A Maintenance Analysis/Assessment is required for an organization after the CMMS is implemented.
4. ___ In-house development of a CMMS is the method used by most companies to obtain their CMMS.
5. ___ Most companies can save money on CMMS training, since most users can become proficient by reading the manual.
6. ___ One of the most common reasons for CMMS failure is that the company fails to purchase a CMMS for future needs; instead,
they focus on current business processes.
7. ___ When selecting the CMMS, the Information Systems department can best specify what functionality the maintenance
department needs in the product.
8. ___ Without the management support necessary to enforce certain disciplines that the CMMS requires, the
quality of the data in the CMMS reports will be suspect.
9. ___ Future users of the CMMS should test the product before it is purchased, since they will have to use it to perform their jobs in
the future.
10 ___ Failure to properly estimate the time or cost to load the data prior to CMMS start-up has caused many projects to fail.

CMMS Requirements
1. Implementation is everything
2. Roles and Responsibilities must be defined for all users
3. Equipment walkdown, load ALL assets, with Equipment Data, and Parts Data into the CMMS
4. Asset Hierarchy must be established
5. Asset Criticality must be defined
6. Create a CMMS Users Manual / Education Module and train everyone in use of it
7. The Maintenance Department is Accountable for the Use / Application / and Management of the
CMMS
8. All Work Order Data verified by Maintenance Supervisor before input into CMMS by the
Maintenance Planner

Step 1: Hire an Expert
Step 1: Hire an organization or individual who knows all the functions of a CMMS, all
Maintenance Processes from “Work Identification (PM/PdM/OP Care)” to FRACAS
World Class Maintenance Copyright 2020
Step 2: Create the CMMS Optimization Plan with all stakeholders
1. Use a Project Management Software to Create and Manage the Plan and Post for all to see
2. Create a plan with all Stakeholders (or a person who can “sign the check”) with targets and
goals by date
3. Define the Steps required to Optimize the current CMMS
4. If Maintenance Process Maps do not exist, create or purchase them.
5. Identify the Roles and Responsibilities for each Stakeholder using the RACI Process
World Class Maintenance Copyright 2020
Step 3: Create an Education Plan
Step 1: Create a training/education plan for all stakeholders
Step 2: Educate the team through different methods and they must be targeted to the audience through
training by a maintenance expert that knows the functionality of your CMMS
Step 3: Create RACI Charts and all stake holders, Tool-Box Talks, etc.
Step 4: Post a Dictionary of terms and words which may be interpreted differently by different individuals
Examples (Source: SMRP Metrics)
“Planned Work” is maintenance work that has gone through a formal planning process to identify labor, materials,
tools, and safety requirements. This information is assembled into a job plan package and communicated to craft
workers prior to the start of the work.
“Preventive Maintenance” is defined as actions performed on a time- or machine-run-based schedule that detect,
preclude or mitigate degradation of a component or system with the aim of sustaining or extending its useful life
through controlling degradation to an acceptable level.

Leading/
Lagging KPIs
1. Educate all stakeholders the what/why/how in CMMS Execution Plan
2. Use a Project Software to track the project and update weekly
3. Identify Leading and Lagging KPIs which will be impacted by this new software
4. Post the Project Plan Board on Plant Monitors or large Charts for everyone to see when they enter
the plant

Proactive Maintenance Process
Step 5: Verify Your Current Maintenance Process
1. Ensure you have a Proactive Maintenance Process
2. Map/Verify all Processes in Proactive Maintenance and Define Metrics for Each Function
3. Define Metrics for each step in the Proactive Maintenance Process
4. Make Changes as Needed
PM/PdM/OpCare
Inspections
Maintenance
Planning
Maintenance
Scheduling
Work Execution FRACAS
PM/PdM Compliance
% Planned Work Schedule

Rework MTBF
MTTR
Parts Turns
“If a step in a Process is Skipped or Performed at Substandard level
It creates defects known as failures, the output of Proactive Maintenance
Process is optimal reliability at optimal cost”
Proactive Maintenance Process
Step 6: Create KPI Dashboards for All Processes
Maintenance Dashboard
Plant Dashboard Example
Next Steps
1. Confirm whether your current KPIs MATCH with what you see in the Plant
2. Confirm you have EFFECTIVE Maintenance Process Maps
3. Confirm you have a SIMPLE “CMMS Users Guide” for specific users
4. Create RACI Charts for all Processes to define and align everyone’s thinking
