CMMS
Computerised maintenance management system
In practice
A CMMS is the tool the maintenance team uses day to day to look after and manage assets from an operational point of view, where EAM covers the whole asset lifecycle and its financials. A good MOM platform covers the same ground, which replaces the need for a separate CMMS and keeps production and maintenance on the same downtime data. An MES focused on production can feed a CMMS instead.
