How to measure the success of a CMMS implementation
It is often said that maintenance digitalization projects have a very low success rate. Often managed by IT, most CMMS or EAM projects result in systems that maybe work from a technical standpoint (users can login and access the various functions) but cannot be used in practice (data not accurate, no useful reports, inconvenient user interfaces). Obviously such system does not help the company achieve any industrial improvement.
This has been a recurring theme in previous Siveco articles: in-depth audits of companies having implemented IT solutions for maintenance or asset management consistently show major gaps between their strategic needs (as per ISO 55000) and the actual coverage achieved by the system. Indeed, virtually all EAM projects are driven by IT departments and conducted by IT vendors with limited understanding of O&M, hence this focus on non-strategic “administrative” aspects of the projects.
