What is CMMS, and why is it necessary?
CMMS stands for computerized maintenance management system, which tracks campus assets that Facilities Management maintains daily, including buildings, mechanical equipment, and linear assets such as tunnels, streetlights, and underground utilities. CMMS also records all work against assets to track frequency of repairs, determine equipment life cycles, and analyze costs. This system also tracks shop activity, such as how long it takes to complete a request and the backlog status.
