"The instructor was well prepared to address the topics we desired and held our interest for the entire workshop."
Purpose of Seminar:
Students who participate in this two-day program will learn about the objectives, benefits
and features of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). The seminar discusses
CMMS modules and state-of-the-art technologies that are used with a CMMS. Students will learn
how to develop system specifications for their application as well as how to justify, evaluate,
implement, audit and optimize a CMMS. As an integral part of the course, real world exercises
are included to help understand the material covered and to better apply seminar content at a
future time. Whether you operate in a small facility or a large, multi location plant, a
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) will help you run your maintenance program
more efficiently and cost effectively.
This CMMS course will help you to understand the objectives, features and benefits of a CMMS and
how this technology can help you to improve maintenance productivity, equipment quality and provide
better service to other departments all while reducing your maintenance operations cost.
Whether you are considering implementing a CMMS or whether you already have a system that is not
working optimally, this is a practical and hands-on course designed for you and your key people
in the team to ensure you are on the right track to gain real benefits from a CMMS.
