In a sector as demanding as construction and public works, efficient management of equipment and maintenance operations is crucial to ensuring continuity of operations and worker safety. This is where Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) plays a key role. Used to organise, plan and supervise all maintenance activities, CMMS not only helps to reduce costs and downtime, but also optimises equipment performance and improves site safety.
The aim of this article is to explore how CMMS is transforming the construction industry, highlighting its functionalities, its specific benefits for construction companies, and the challenges associated with its implementation. We begin with a detailed introduction to CMMS, before looking at the challenges of maintenance in the construction industry and the benefits that this technology can bring.
CMMS provides a valuable overview of the management of human and material resources, enabling technical traceability and analysis of any recurrent defects. With better visibility of future expenditure, companies can anticipate maintenance needs, consolidate spare parts purchases and optimise storage and labour costs, resulting in a significant reduction in maintenance department expenditure.
More informed maintenance management leads to fewer breakdowns, maximising equipment performance over the long term. Thanks to proactive planning of repairs and replacements, wear and tear on machines is limited, extending their lifespan by 50% with the use of a CMMS.
By making maintenance more reliable with CMMS, production interruptions and machine downtime are minimised. Dashboards provide a real-time view of equipment availability, enabling more continuous operation, which has a direct and positive impact on productivity.
CMMS makes it easier to allocate tasks among operators, taking into account the availability of human resources and the specific skills required for each type of maintenance. This overview makes it possible to quickly determine who can work on which equipment, thereby optimising the working time of each professional.
CMMS excels at managing day-to-day maintenance tasks. It can be used to plan preventive maintenance operations, track work orders and ensure that maintenance operations run smoothly. In addition, CMMS helps to manage spare parts stocks, reducing downtime due to stock-outs. It also generates detailed reports on equipment performance, maintenance costs and breakdown trends, providing valuable data for decision-making.
