Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is a powerful tool, which was designed to control all kinds of maintenance operations.
Basic Features: comprehensive Equipment information and History; both scheduled and unscheduled work orders; comprehensive and accurate inventory information; useful reports, charts as well as an online help.
Typical Features: purchasing of spare parts including automated orders generation, based on the analysis of stock levels; assets management; active service and work order requests; the whole maintenance work can be scheduled by date, by meter reading, or both.
Advanced Features: statistical forecasting maintenance; data security system; electronic transfer of purchase orders.
Database: CMMS stores all the information in the Oracle database. Common network version, working with MS Visual FoxPro database, is also available.
System Requirements
System requirements for CMMS are very common for such systems and include Windows NT (with at least service pack 6)/2000 as a server, Oracle 8.1.5 or higher as a database server and Windows 98/2000 as a client system. Certainly, you need Oracle client to use as a client part for Oracle server. All other necessary software components as well as a filled out example of database are supplied with CMMS.
As the system is a big and complicated one and as even testing database contains tens of thousand of records, it is strongly recommended to have at least 64M RAM on client computers and at least 256M RAM on your server.
