Report for Preparation of Guide Specifications for Maintenance Management Systems
Abstract
Maintenance Management Systems (MMSs) applied to DOD facilities will greatly reduce equipment downtime, breakdown repair cost and equipment replacement cost and will increase total facility operation reliability, equipment life and effectiveness of maintenance department personnel--if the system is properly designed and effectively applied with a properly trained staff. The key factors desired by many who are presently operating both an EMCS (Energy Monitoring and Control Systems) and a MMS are: (1) flexibility to add and delete Work Orders (WOs) and equipment; (2) capacity and capability to add functions and equipment as operating personnel become more familiar with the overall capabilities and benefits of the system; and (3) keep the two systems' main processors and terminals separate, except for the 'hook' desired to retrieve certain status information from the EMCS. The effectiveness and usefulness of the MMS is directly related to the willingness of the system designer, supplier, and installer and commissioner to work closely with the facilities operating personnel to integrate the MMS into the facility's operations program. Keywords: Army Corps of Engineers, Standards.
