Title: Impact of implementation of CMMS for enhancing the performance of manufacturing industries

Abstract

Maintenance is inevitable in any industry because failures due to maintenance affects the performance of Industries badly. Therefore, the functionality of maintenance is enhanced considerably and automated by the implementation of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) in an organization. CMMS is a maintenance-based software also known as Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) that is utilized to plan, schedule, manage, and monitor maintenance activities related to equipment, machinery, automobiles, or other facilities and services available in the industries. The application of CMMS in industries enhances the performance like increased productivity, increased organizational achievements, improved safety, health & environment, cost savings, and efficient use of resources in industrial sectors. The main objective of the paper was to explore the key performance indicators (KPI) for CMMS selection and benefits of the implementation of CMMS in Indian manufacturing industries through the survey method. From the existing literature, a structured questionnaire is developed to investigate the performance of CMMS in the manufacturing industries. The questionnaire was used for the data collection from the various manufacturing industries and the responses have been analyzed to determine the results. The study explored eleven KPIs for CMMS selection. Seven factors were identified as independent variables, while the remaining four factors were dependent variables. According to the findings, industries that had implemented CMMS in their premises benefited greatly from it.
