Abstract. This article presents a Decision Support System which focuses on an important organizational context: maintenance decisions. Usually, a specific management system is required to deal with data on failure, reliability, maintainability and availability regarding equipment. The maintenance context is surrounded by uncertainty and does not provide a clear profit from its activities, and thus requires a tool which fits in with organizational needs. The tool presented in this paper considers the requirements and approaches of an industrial production system, using concepts and methodologies from Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) to establish maintenance strategies, such as inspection and preventive maintenance planning, and also takes into consideration sophisticated MCDA and FMECA models for strategic decision making.

“…In the third paper, [6], a method for determining IT requirements in maintenance was developed, which could be useful in the requirements determination and CMMS selection. It does not address any specific methods for the actual selection though, such as in [4] and [5].…”

Research shows that investments in IT have a positive correlation to company profitability and competitiveness. This is the case also for maintenance management IT (MMIT), i.e. applications used for maintenance management purposes such as computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS) and maintenance management or asset management modules in enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Although, models and methods for evaluating maintenance IT needs and IT systems are not well developed. This paper shows how the IT maturity of the maintenance organisation could be considered in the IT procurement process. If we are able to define functionality for different levels of IT maturity, the assessment and selection of the relatively best IT application for the maintenance organisation would be supported. A model describing three phases of IT maturity within maintenance (IT beginners, medium IT users and IT mature organisations) forms the theoretical basis. The applicability of the approach is tested by evaluating 24 CMMS and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.Key Words: Computerised maintenance management, maintenance IT functionality, IT maturity INTRODUCTIONTo reach success in the utilisation of information technology (IT) for maintenance management, we must be able to choose the relatively best alternative from a set of possible IT solutions. This requires an ability to understand the maintenance IT needs, as well as ways to assess different alternative IT solutions. Although Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) have been in use for several decades, models and methods for evaluating maintenance IT needs are not well developed. This paper will address how the maintenance management information technology (MMIT) procurement process could be supported by taking into account the IT maturity of the maintenance organisation. IT maturity denotes the extent to which an organisation or a human can benefit from the technology [1]. If we are able to define functionality for different levels of IT maturity, the assessment and selection of the relatively best IT application for the maintenance organisation would be supported. A model for determining the IT maturity of maintenance was developed in [2] and validated in [3]. In this paper, this model will be used as a basis for defining IT functionality requirements for the evaluation of different MMIT systems alternatives. METHODS SUPPORTING THE PROCUREMENT OF MMITFor covering the past research within the assessment of MMIT, a literature survey was conducted in the full text database ELIN (Electronic Library Information Navigator), which integrates vast amount of databases and providers, such as Blackwell, Cambridge journals, Emerald, IEEE, Science Direct and Wiley. Key words were chosen to cover the area of computerised maintenance management combined with the terms benefits, needs, requirements, purchasing, procurement, selection and evaluation. 40 hits in all were addressing MMIT, representing 22 unique papers published between 1987 and 2008.Three paper...
