Software Advice guide shows how CMMS can increase machine uptime

by Brianna Crandall — August 17, 2015—The maintenance management research team at Software Advice has published a comprehensive guide that shares three ways a CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) can increase machine uptime. “How 3 Modern CMMS Tools Increase Machine Uptime” is available on the Software Advice site.

Since 29 percent of prospective buyers currently have no software in place, and more surprisingly, 36 percent still use manual methods, the company’s researchers wanted to share how important CMMS systems are for maintenance managers.

They also developed a free and customizable tool that maintenance managers can use to quickly calculate their estimated amount of revenue loss per hour of machine downtime — missed revenue many companies cannot afford to lose, points out the resource.
