Computerized Maintenance Management System
A computerized maintenance management system is software for organizing work orders, maintenance schedules, equipment records, and service history.
A computerized maintenance management system is software used to organize and track operations and maintenance work. Typical functions include work-order creation and tracking, equipment service history, scheduled maintenance, and storage of equipment documents.
Capabilities vary by system and implementation. Useful records depend on consistent data entry and continued use; installing software alone does not demonstrate that maintenance work has been completed correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does using a CMMS prove a repair was completed correctly?
No. The system supports tracking and recordkeeping. The work still needs completion evidence and an appropriate quality check.
