The main function of a CMMS is to help companies’ maintenance departments in their work by managing, controlling and maintaining equipment efficiently and economically.
KmMaint organises, plans, records and controls all types of maintenance work, optimising it and making it more effective.
A modernised CMMS (Computerised Maintenance Management System) is a growth lever, an investment that brings many benefits such as optimised productivity and lower maintenance costs.
How a CMMS will make your audits easier
A CMMS is an ideal companion day to day, as well as for complying with the rules, standards and other requirements that your company (and your trade) must meet. You can store all the data relating to these processes in the CMMS.
Depending on your business sector, you may have strict and/or frequently changing compliance standards. A CMMS will make your internal and external audits simpler, for good.
The stages of a compliance audit
4 dimensions that auditors follow:
- Knowing what you do and why (having consistent, quality procedures)
- Planning what you say and do (following procedures)
- Proving the results of actions and making them verifiable
- Having ongoing improvement approaches
With a CMMS such as KmMaint, all these points become much easier to check. The actions carried out on a piece of equipment are recorded, traced and visible in maintenance management.
Short- and long-term improvement
In the short term: easier day-to-day control, with daily or weekly analysis reports that are easy to set up in the CMMS.
In the long term: the solution also makes it easier to prepare an in-depth audit (at least once a year), which is needed to keep improving.
The results of an audit with a CMMS
Breakdowns and quality and time-management problems naturally decrease when teams know how to fill in and follow a CMMS every day.
Inspections are better spread out and more effective. Managers can put in place more accurate preventive plans (equipment, installations, tests) while spending less time on them overall.
There are fewer scheduled and unscheduled stoppages than before.
The growing overall reliability of processes, equipment and installations can be measured from the first year. Profitability, and the satisfaction of customers and teams alike, follow naturally from these actions.
Other benefits of an audit with a CMMS
The audit evolves, just like the CMMS. The measurement methods it makes possible, together with new-generation sensors (vibration monitoring, infrared inspection, oil quality analysis, pressure measurement), allow the overall organisation to be fine-tuned.
Stakeholders (managers, technicians and other external contractors) can anticipate the next breakdown, the next work order and the next maintenance operation even better.
Conclusion
In short, KmMaint lets you carry out your audits with good organisation and complete histories for every type of equipment recorded in the software.
With continuous improvement in mind, the KmMaint solution lets you identify the strengths and weaknesses of the maintenance department, with complete transparency.
