Choosing a Corporate Wide Solution with MaintiMizer

How CMMS Software Provides a Corporate-Wide Standard

Being a leader in any industry comes with a certain set of standards. You must be diligent, efficient, and effective. You must be able to set the standard high and be willing to achieve it every time. The problem Multiple Business Unit Companies often face is that each facility usually has its own computerized maintenance management system (CMMS).

This means terminology for identifying work types, statuses, priority codes, equipment data codes, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) makes maintenance decisions difficult and justifying equipment repair/replacement challenging. As a result, the corporate teams need a solution to support a streamlined and centralized maintenance practice for their facilities. This would allow them to work together efficiently and continue bringing excellence to their industry.

Bringing on a Corporate Wide Solution is always a good answer. When customers reach out to our team with problems like these, we can usually help identify other problems that could be streamlined with MaintiMizer. They often ask if MaintiMizer could serve as a corporation-wide solution. Which means not only bringing MaintiMizer to each of their facilities, but also standardizing data codes, terminology, SOPs and more.

First, we recommend installing MaintiMizer at your headquarters in order to migrate data from each facility in a central location to make corporation-wide decisions. This allows each facility to make their parts inventory visible across facilities. Which cuts down on expedited shipping prices from vendors keeping a lower volume of high value stock on hand. Next, we will standardize category and downtime codes corporate wide. This creates a more useful mean time between failures (MTBF) report for similar machines. This intelligence will then influence the preventative maintenance (PM) schedule. Thereby reducing unplanned downtime.

If you find your facilities in a state of disarray with constant miscommunication, overspending and/or constantly putting out fires, we are here to help. We’ve had many companies start the transition to a Corporate Wide Solution. With MaintiMizer at the helm we’d be happy to get you started too.
