Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is the computer software for planning, scheduling, and documenting for the maintenance activities. A CMMS can organise and manage the facilities preventive maintenance tasks, safety, and including work order generations, work instructions, parts and labour expenditure tracking, parts inventories, and equipment histories.
Reference Definition by Wikipedia: Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), is also known as computerized maintenance management information system (CMMIS), is a software package that maintains a computer database of information about an organization’s maintenance operations. This information is intended to help maintenance workers do their jobs more effectively (for example, determining which machines require maintenance and which storerooms contain the spare parts they need) and to help management make informed decisions (for example, calculating the cost of machine breakdown repair versus preventive maintenance for each machine, possibly leading to better allocation of resources).
