A computerised managed maintenance system (CMMS) is a computer software approach to maintenance management. It evolved in the late 1980s and early 1990s as building professionals began to use computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided facilities management (CAFM) tools.

= Components of CMMS =

The cornerstone of CMMS software is to support maintenance throughout facilities. CMMS can also help maintenance planners, engineers and supervisors to schedule, monitor and execute maintenance tasks in compliance with regulatory and health and safety requirements.

The types of maintenance can include:

* Equipment.
* Preventive maintenance.
* Work order management.
* Scheduling/planning of labor and projects.
* Vendor management.
* Inventory and asset control.
* Purchasing and budgets.

Other components of CMMS may include:

* Root cause analysis
* Predictive maintenance
* Financial costs/asset lifecycle analysis

Historically, CMMS was offered as a software package. Today, some CMMS programmes are web-based and supported through a Software as a Service (SaaS) approach. Many are available for tablet or mobile devices, which makes suitable for onsite use in the field.

CMMS software can be industry specific, but there are general approaches that are suitable for most sectors.
