Schools and universities are responsible for managing a large number of assets, from computers to furniture to buildings. Keeping track of these assets manually can be tedious and time-consuming. That’s why many schools and universities have turned to using computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) to streamline their asset maintenance operations. Here are five reasons why CMMS is important for schools and universities.
1. Improved Asset Management: CMMS helps schools and universities to track their assets efficiently, allowing them to easily identify which items need repairs or require replacement parts. With real-time tracking, they can make more informed decisions about how best to manage their assets.
2. Reduced Maintenance Costs: By automating the maintenance process, CMMS can help schools and universities reduce their maintenance costs. With a CMMS solution in place, they can easily identify the cost of each repair or replacement, as well as its associated labor costs. This makes budgeting for repairs and replacements much easier and more accurate.
3. Streamlined Recurring Services: A good CMMS system allows schools and universities to schedule recurring preventive maintenance tasks quickly and easily. This means that equipment is checked regularly over the life of the asset, ensuring that it remains in working order and minimizing the need for costly emergency repairs. It will also provide real-time updates to facility managers on completion of work.
4. Improved Safety: By using CMMS to track all maintenance activities, schools and universities can ensure that safety processes and procedures are fully operational. This helps keep students and staff safe while on campus, reducing the risk of injuries and accidents.
5.Increased Efficiency: Automated scheduling and tracking of maintenance projects within a CMMS can help schools and universities save time. Rather than manually keeping track of repairs and replacements, they can easily access all their asset data in one place. This makes it easier to find what they need, saving them valuable time that can be spent on other tasks.
CMMS solutions are quickly becoming an essential tool for schools and universities that want to improve their asset management processes. Not only does it help reduce costs and increase efficiency, but it also helps keep everybody safe while on campus. It’s a win-win!
