Proposal of an approach of Selection and Impact Study of CMMS use on Maintenance functioning, a case study

Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is widely considered as a powerful tool for organizations to improve the efficiency of their maintenance function. Nevertheless, the selection of the appropriate CMMS is not a trivial task. Furthermore, how proving the impact of the selected software on the functioning of the maintenance structure. The aim of this work is twofold: on the one hand, define reusable criteria for selecting a CMMS from a range of tools available online. On the other hand, propose a reusable approach to study and analyze the impact of the use of a CMMS on the functioning of a maintenance structure. The proposed approach is illustrated throughout a case study within an oil company.
