Abstract A complete computerized maintenance system for a steel manufacturing plant has been installed on its own equipment in order to minimize the costs incurred for the sudden interruption of equipment and the heavy expenses on spare parts. This allows the company a lot of returns, including tracking the condition of the equipment on a continuous basis, and prevents the sudden stop of equipment during work. It also helps to deliver operations on time and without paying large sums for quick maintenance of equipment, using CMMS maintenance programs. The CMMS helped at: - Auto-generating maintenance work orders, tracking asset condition and performance across locations, maintaining the history of preventive and predictive maintenance along with repairs and replacements, documenting every technical procedure performed on every individual asset across locations, tracking historical records of vendor contracts and warranties of each and every component, reporting every pending and ongoing activity in real-time, keeping a constant track of available resources, inventory levels, labor cost and budget and integrating with an organization’s existing energy management and control systems, as well as other management solutions to optimize workflow efficiency. |
