“…Considering that maintenance is an important function of organisations, maintenance management requires a multidisciplinary approach with a business perspective and the use of digital technology [7]. Adopting computer systems to support maintenance operations is commonly referred as Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMSs) [1]. CMMSs allow the effective documentation of maintenance operations, communication of scheduled activities, enhance the ability to develop and monitor the forward planning and execution of maintenance operations.…”

“…Maintenance operations have over time continued to evolve and, in the digital age, are maximising the opportunities offered through the application of information and communication technology. 'Information systems that support maintenance functions are referred to as Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMSs)' ( [1], p. 269). Some of the objectives of a 'CMMS are effective maintenance of machines, rational asset management, and consequently higher productivity of a company' ( [2], p. 277).…”

“…Typical CMMS software contains different modules, which enable the maintenance operatives to execute different activities. Some of the operational modules include asset management, work order management, preventive maintenance management and inventory control and report management [1]. Others include service management, contract management, materials management and procurement management [2].…”

Operations Management - Emerging Trend in the Digital Era

Those involved in maintenance operations are enjoying the benefits of information and communication technology in the planning and management of maintenance activities, resource management and planned production. In the digital space, the computer-based operating systems, commonly referred to as computerised maintenance management systems (CMMSs), enable quick and effective communication between stakeholders, facilitate improved planning, easy access to historical data, reporting and performance improvements of the maintenance function. However, success in the use of CMMSs depends on the human capacity of the users of the system. In practice, many organisations use the CMMS tool for planning, operations management and reporting, without the aid of detailed analysis of operational information in the CMMS database. They fail to harness all the possible benefits. Three case studies were used to illustrate the situation. Two of them refer to academic institutions and the third is a manufacturing company. In the academic institutions, the CMMS was used for maintenance planning, management and periodic reporting. The manufacturing company included analysis of the information in the operational database, which culminated in identifying the level of the reliability of machines in the production network through benchmarking. The conclusion is that the quality of the human capacity enables organisations to harness and make maximum use of the potentials inherent in typical CMMS software.

“…In particular, predictive maintenance data analysis can be a ''black hole'' in the CMMS module and tends to lag behind [27]. Other ''black holes'' in systems that are available in the market, but are not applied are [28] condition monitoring analytics, diagnostics of equipment failure, decision support to resource allocation, and decision analysis support.…”

With the emergence of Industry 4.0, maintenance is considered to be a specific area of action that is needed to successfully sustain a competitive advantage. For instance, predictive maintenance will be central for asset utilization, service, and after-sales in realizing Industry 4.0. Moreover, artificial intelligence (AI) is also central for Industry 4.0, and offers data-driven methods. The aim of this article is to develop a new maintenance model called deep digital maintenance (DDM). With the support of theoretical foundations in cyber-physical systems (CPS) and maintenance, a concept for DDM is proposed. In this paper, the planning module of DDM is investigated in more detail with realistic industrial data from earlier case studies. It is expected that this planning module will enable integrated planning (IPL) where maintenance and production planning can be more integrated. The result of the testing shows that both the remaining useful life (RUL) and the expected profit loss indicator (PLI) of ignoring the failure can be calculated for the planning module. The article concludes that further research is needed in testing the accuracy of RUL, classifying PLI for different failure modes, and testing of other DDM modules with industrial case studies.

“…Organizations use KPI to reveal how successful they are in accomplishing long lasting financial and non-financial goals [12]. Ogbo et al [13] [15] and tracks O&M activities [16], [17]. Despite the huge benefits associated with CMMS as a tool in maintenance management, success rate in its implementation has been adjudged rather poor [18].…”

Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is a tool tailored to support maintenance business functions of production systems. Market available CMMS software programs seldom meet the needs of each organization's peculiar maintenance functions. Therefore, this work investigated the effects of CMMS on a cement production plant. The materials used included a Computer and Networking system and maintenance software. Preliminary study via interview among the relevant maintenance staff members of the plant was conducted to identify critical plant assets. Critical assets considered under this study are Limestone Crusher (LC), Cement Mill (CM) and Kiln (KI) among others identified. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as Plant Reliability Factor (RF), Number of Stoppages for Incidents (NSI) and Production Losses (PL) were used as basis for the evaluation which covered period from year 2013 to 2015. The result obtained from this implementation showed that RF for LC,
