By effectively capturing robust maintenance data using a Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS) solution, maintenance teams are empowered to make smarter decisions and ultimately drive efficiency and equipment reliability. For the maintenance team at Dana Inc., a global automotive supplier, the goal is to keep machines running as efficiently as possible. In order to achieve this goal and more, the company implemented eMaint CMMS in 2014. During this presentation, Robert McKenna, Maintenance Supervisor at Dana Inc., and Greg Perry, Sr. Consultant at eMaint, will draw from personal experiences to explain how to use data gathered from Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS) to drive maintenance efficiency. As CMMS experts and professionals in the field, the duo will also share successful approaches to tracking Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) via CMMS reporting tools and dashboards. Attendees will learn about Dana Inc.’s “four-panel maintenance programs,” inspired by the strategic use of their CMMS system. Key takeaways also include insights into how Dana Inc. quantifies actual cost/savings related to maintenance activities and reduces costly equipment downtime and expensive repairs through preventive maintenance planning. Whether your organization is searching for a CMMS or has used the same solution for years, this session will offer valuable best practice insight into how to leverage your CMMS to address key challenges and make better maintenance decisions.
