If you are considering the purchase and deployment of a CMMS product in your organization, consider using Maintenance Management Solutions for your implementation needs. Our specialists have in-depth, hands-on, implementation experience and skills with the most familiar names in the industry including MAXIMO, MAXIMO ADvantage, MP2, Indus's EMPAC, and PassPort.

While each implementation project that we conduct is tailored to our client's needs and to the specifics of the chosen CMMS, our methodology focuses on the following steps:

Data Building   This is one of the most critical facets of the implementation process. Decisions made during this process affect every aspect of the usability of the implemented system. This session gives the client the opportunity to evaluate the various choices available for the setup of the final data to be loaded into the EAM system. Our consultants will help guide the client on decisions that make the best use of the capabilities of the selected software package.   more

Equipment/Location Hierarchy The setup of the hierarchies determine how a facility's assets are located in the EAM as well as how cost roll-ups will occur. SMS combines the experience of our consultants and engineers with client input to produce a final product, which will meet all client needs. This approach has proved successful in reducing the end user learning curve. more

Workflow Development Identifying best business practice workflow procedures will allow for the best possible use of the system being implemented. An example of this is identifying the way a work request, which may become a work order, flows through the system. SMS considers the abilities of the selected software and the requirements of the client to achieve asset management effectiveness. more

Plant Walk-Down Data Collection and Verification Many sites have a need for complete asset walk-down or asset verification. This process involves our engineers and technicians physically verifying the location, service and technical information for all assets. This process can be very labor-intensive and time-consuming for a client to undertake internally. SMS utilizes processes which maximize efficiency, productivity, accuracy and consistency of the walk-down. Our approach greatly reduces the time and expense. If the client has an up-to-date database or paper system, they may not require a complete walk-down. At such sites, we generally recommend spot checking the existing system to verify data integrity. more

Asset Data Research At some sites, not all equipment is accessible for physical walk-down. In these cases, file research is the only means of verifying data to be loaded into the EAM system. For some clients, data research (file research) allows the asset records to contain more information, which can be valuable when performing maintenance or replacing assets. more

Data Configuration and Loading All collected data will be configured and loaded into the selected EAM system. Our engineers have vast experience with the data structures and configurations of the various EAM systems. It is imperative that the data be loaded correctly into the final system to allow for its successful use. Our experience allows for a streamlined process, resulting in the quick integration into the selected software. This ensures the highest accuracy and efficiency. more

System Configuration Every EAM system has a multitude of settings and configurations that must be setup. Examples include selection of possible work order statuses, population of lookup lists, and the use of customized fields. SMS can provide guidance to each client on making the best decisions for each circumstance. more

Plant Walk-Down Data Collection and Verification Many sites have a need for complete asset walk-down or asset verification. This process involves our engineers and technicians physically verifying the location, service and technical information for all assets. This process can be very labor-intensive and time-consuming for a client to undertake internally. SMS utilizes processes which maximize efficiency, productivity, accuracy and consistency of the walk-down. Our approach greatly reduces the time and expense.
