A packaging plant manager has a lot of responsibility and with even one piece of machinery down, the work load can be compromised. While things are a bit easier now than in the past that didn't have computer technology, you still need all the help you can get in order to run a plant that is efficient, safe, and producing at a maximum.
With a CMMS System, not only does it help keep things more seamless, it can even help you plan your budget.How it works is that you are able to keep live maintenance lists and plan ahead while keeping up with your machinery.
Assets
Your equipment and machinery are the integral part of your everyday operations and a breakdown can cause a huge lapse in production. With the assets area of the Computerized Maintenance Management Software, you can actually plan the life expectancy of your equipment, know when repairs and maintenance has been done, and even keep up with the costs of the upkeep vs entirely new equipment.
Work Orders
No matter what kind of work order needs to be done, everything is easy to schedule with this section of the software. No more lost paperwork or someone thinking someone else did the work. Now the work order can be sent out to the employee via the mobile phone application and there's no lack of communication. Plus, since everything is on your desktop (or you can access the software remotely) you always know what is going on in your packaging plant.

Preventative Maintenance
One of the most important aspects of keeping any type of facility running is making sure that the preventative maintenance is kept up. Without it, equipment may become faulty, work gets behind, and it can cost more money in the long run than if the maintenance had been done on time. This section allows you to schedule preventative maintenance in advance and then forget about it. No more scheduling it by hand or having to keep up with a calendar because it'll repeat however you need it to such as daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly.
No matter what kind of packaging plant you run, Maintenance Facility Software helps keep you less busy with the details so you can spend more time running the facility.
