CMMS Maintenance Care Blog

If you’re maintenance team has tasks outside this summer, you need to ensure that they are protected from heat stroke and other extreme heat conditions. 

What do you do when the maintenance needs of your facility are so overwhelming you don't know where to start? The U.S. Forest Service made an interesting move trying to combat a widespread issue of maintenance backlog and neglect.

Now that you have taken the plunge and have your new CMMS program ready to start working for you, here are a few tips on making it easier to use and work more efficiently.

Whether you work in Canada and have to follow the protocol set by the Centre for Occupational Health and Safety or you live in the United States and have to abide by the rules set forth by OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration), there are rules that are meant to keep the work site safer, healthier, and overall a better place to work.

Let’s face it, everyone hates to move. While you may be moving into a brand new office with all of the amenities, it is still a huge pain to pack everything up and move it. One thing that makes moving your maintence funtions easier is CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Software).

Ask just about anyone and it seems that they will have negative things to say about their boss or supervisor. According to research and polls, over 2/3 of employees claim that their boss is the worst part of the job.

When it comes to maintaining your facilities a CMMS is helpful in a number of ways. 

As a maintenance manager, you want to give your team every opportunity to succeed in the workplace. While you may not have complete control over their performance, something as simple as a poorly maintaned HVAC system can have noticable effects on team morale and performance.
