Ask yourself the following questions and see do you have the answers.
Q: Do I know when and which machine should be replaced?
A: A CMMS maintenance management software can record all labour and replacement costs associated with each and every asset through information being saved to each work order. By collating all the work order costs in reports, and comparing costs between similar machines, you have the information to decide which asset, and when it should be replaced.
