MRO: Software to the rescue?
In the lead-up to our software-based virtual event, we asked our readers: “What software do you use to manage your maintenance?” in an online poll. It was great to see that (as of publication time) the results showed only 14 per cent of respondents don’t use any software. While on the other end of the spectrum seven per cent said they used all of the options listed.
By far the most used (not surprisingly, as we are in the maintenance sphere) was CMMS (computerized maintenance management software) with 44 per cent usage, followed by ERP (enterprise resource planning) at 26 per cent, EAM (enterprise asset management) at five per cent, while another five per cent they used another type of software.
Many software options exist for those in the maintenance world who want to go digital. This was apparent when MRO began planning our recently completed Reducing Downtime: How Software Can Help virtual event last year.
We researched far and wide, and came up with a cross section of software solution experts to help our readers implement and improve their operations. In all, four presentations and a panel discussion outlined best practices to reduce downtime through use of software.
