Why Information Management Standards Matter to Biomeds

Healthcare and medical equipment sustainability is very important, we need to have an efficient and high performance devices. If such systems or devices are fail every time this will effect patients and the medical system at all. Healthcare equipments like ventilators and other devices nowadays has a good priority and important because of Covid19 which effects all countries now. Since these devices exposed some defects which will effect on its role it is very important to study and analyze such defects, classify them and how to apply CMMS in such maintenance operations. This paper aims to use CMMS in maintenance operations of equipments in healthcare sector. Also a classification of failures of such equipments is generated to be an input for CMMS programs. The second thing is to use Equipment maintenance (EM) number in classifying such devices to be ready for using CMMS. A sample of medical devices are studied and the equipment management number (EM) is calculated here for some selected devices if it reaches some specific value it needs maintenance and CMMS will manage the maintenance operations required. CMMS procedures, transactions and benefits are discussed in this paper. It is found that in the first step we should determine the devices included in inspection and maintenance operations by using EM number, then specifying the maintenance period and inspection frequency after that following some specific steps to manage the maintenance operations followed by CMMS programs. Equipment maintenance (EM) number is very important to determine whether the equipment need maintenance or not, and it also determine the inspection and maintenance duration and so such devices be ready to be used all the time. CMMS can be efficiently used in maintenance operations of healthcare equipments. The use of CMMS software or application is used in processing entered data of devices or systems following the commands step-by-step to construct a CMMS system for each plant or system, this will simplify the monitoring and inspections and maintenance operations which increasing availability of the device and decreasing downtime

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify details of technological, organizational and people (TOP) factors affecting maintenance technicians’ use of computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) in manual collection of asset data. Design/methodology/approach In addition to TOP factor details, results from six case studies in Finland, India and the Caribbean are presented. Interviews and observations clarify the role of TOP factors in CMMS use in industrial maintenance. Findings In total, 17 detailed TOP factors are identified and criteria for analyzing CMMS contexts with them are defined. Analyzing the cases with these factors reveals that technicians who collect good quality data have received good training and instructions for the CMMS, are competent, and understand how manually collected data benefits them in their own work. However, even these sites struggle with the usability of the CMMS. Research limitations/implications The 17 TOP factors and the criteria for CMMS evaluation extend understanding on context and usability in manual data collection. Case study method does not imply the relative importance of the TOP factors, which calls for future research using quantitative methods. Practical implications Management can use the criteria to analyze the context of manual data collection for improvements, e.g., in CMMS usability. Originality/value Insights from industrial environments and a new way of studying contextual factors of CMMS use are presented. The results extend a data quality research framework with details to manual data collection and define the TOP factors in CMMS context.

Currently, the impacts of Industry 4.0 are observed in the construction industry, commonly referred to as Construction 4.0, emerging linked to technological innovations. Construction 4.0 presents a standardized model for smart cities and buildings, with the existence of some important points being essential, such as the capacity for adaptation, improvement and efficiency of resources and connections for everyone involved. As a result, new technologies and applications have been emerging that directly impact building maintenance activities, enabling increased efficiency and productivity in this sector, which reduces the risk of errors, failures and defects by maintenance managers. One of these applications is the use of computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), which is a software solution designed to simplify building maintenance processes, in addition to improving the management of organizations' assets. In this sense, the present work aims to evaluate the CMMS available in the Brazilian scenario, showing the current panorama in which this technology has been presented to the market. To this end, we carried out a survey of the CMMS used by Brazilian maintenance companies using the snowball method to list the CMMS to be analyzed. The research carried out in 16 maintenance companies identified 9 CMMS, which were evaluated using the method proposed by Roscoff; Costella; Pilz (2020), which evaluates CMMS functionalities and activities. As a result, the sample analyzed presents heterogeneity in the results linked to CMMS functionalities and activities. In short, the registration items, a basic function, were met by all CMMS analyzed. However, advanced functions that are linked to the principles of Industry 4.0, such as interoperability, virtualization, real-time and service orientation, present disparities in results. Because among the nine CMMS evaluated, only three reached the levels proposed in the methodology.

Since 1962 EC, the Faffa Food Share Company has been producing and supplying flour in Ethiopia both for relief and commercial markets. However, it is incompetent in the market due to a poor maintenance management system. So, the aim of this research is to overcome the poor maintenance management problems by using the CMMS application. The data collected from the company by survey studies, unstructured interviews, and stopwatches and from company records revealed that frequent failure machines, as well as a poor maintenance management system, cause production downtimes, resulting in a 29.19% decrease in production from the planned production. The collected data are analyzed by, tools such as time and motion study, SPSS software and CMMS effectively. The finding from the outcome of the bivariate correlation of CMMS elements and manufacturing performance dimension has an alpha α value of greater than 0.5, which indicates that the relationships between CMMS and manufacturing performance are positive. The findings from company records and stopwatch equipment and manpower (technicians) should be managed to activate machine servicing. Finally, the proposed smart maintenance management system tool, CMMS improves the availability of machines, reduces the frequency of equipment failure, reduces the breakdown time, decreases the cost of maintenance, and then improves the manufacturing performance by 5 percent.

This case study reviews the process that the City of Naperville Information Technology Department undertook to implement a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) for the city’s Department of Public Utilities–Water. A CMMS is a software system for managing infrastructure with tools for creating and tracking maintenance activities associated with physical assets. Typical requirements for a CMMS include the ability to handle requests for service, process work orders, plan preventive maintenance, provide for tests and inspections, and enable ad hoc searching and reporting. The software that the Naperville Water Utility chose for a CMMS was selected for its tight integration with its Geographic Information System (GIS), the computerized mapping database that contained a spatial model of the department’s water distribution and wastewater collection assets. Many of the challenges that the IT Department had in implementing the CMMS related to issues with the GIS data. In addition, several of the city’s ?nancial systems, such as accounting, utility billing, customer information systems, and inventory required integration with the CMMS. The case study will cover the complexities of integration with these disparate data sources that have both a technical and organizational basis. Finally, as with all implementations of software systems, the element of organizational change needed to be addressed. For that reason, business process mapping and re-engineering practices were employed to support the deployment of the software.

In limited resources settings, Health Technology Management (HTM) presents specific challenges, which significantly differ from those faced in higher income settings. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), HTM requires holistic approaches based on reliable information on medical devices operationalized in local medical locations, which may differ significantly from the USA or European ones. Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) tools offer unprecedented opportunities to optimize medical device organization and management in SSA. Nonetheless, CMMS for SSA should be designed to meet real local needs and facing local economic and organizational constraints. This paper describes the results of a project aimed to design and deploy a context-driven CMMS tool, called “GMaint-KM Benin”, which was designed, developed, tested, validated and deployed in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Ecole Polytechnique d’Abomey-Calavi, University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin. The methods followed to design the CMMS, was inspired by closed-loop control theory. It is based on the idea that an effective CMMS could have been designed using as reference international standards and best practices, while controlling and optimizing CMMS inputs and outputs basing upon information and data measured in Beninese medical locations, following a closed-loop feedback control strategy. The tool is currently fully functional in three Beninese hospitals. The successful method used to design this tool represents a best-practice of optimal co-design for Sub-Saharan Africa, which could be adapted and reused in similar projects aiming to design and deploy health technologies for low-income settings. In perspective, the project aims to enhance “GMaint-KM Benin” and scale it up at the national level. The adoption of such a tool could represent an effective base for comparative studies among African countries.

Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) are essential for manufacturing industries to transform their maintenance operations into a more digital and automated format. Using basic work order capabilities, inventory, assets, and scheduled preventative maintenance, a CMMS improves operational efficiency, maximizes resource utilization, and minimizes equipment downtime. Various incidents across companies that advance beyond Industry 4.0 have increased CMMS capabilities with new advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and predictive analytics being added as a means for real-time data capture, better decision making, and predictive-based maintenance schedules for improving equipment reliability and productivity of the plant. Unfortunately, there are ongoing issues, such as interfaceability between systems, lack of formalized standards for data exchange, cybersecurity reliability, and especially predictive output for real-time applicability. This survey examines the literature on CMMS utilization in the manufacturing sector and reviews different technology trends, research approaches, and applications in several key maintenance areas. This study reviews critical research gaps and discusses avenues for establishing intelligent, autonomous, and integrated maintenance management systems aligned with Industry 5.0. Ultimately, this analysis concludes that future CMMS frameworks must develop into adaptive, data-driven, and self-learning maintenance ecosystems capable of supporting proactive decision-making, seamless connections, and sustainability via advanced manufacturing operations

Many organizations have begun to realize the importance of a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) in an increasingly competitive manufacturing environment. This article proposes an object-oriented approach to the design and development of a CMMS that is intended to help the decision making of the maintenance manager. To overcome problems of conventional CMMS, the approach presents the transformation of the maintenance management system framework into an object-oriented maintenance management system (OMMS). The IDEF (Icam DEFinition) method is proposed to improve systems analysis and design of the CMMS in the object-oriented approach. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

One of the most important challenges in maintenance and integrity is the correct register of maintenance data. Information about failures, diagnostics and services execution are extremely important for the background history of equipments and future analysis. Field personnel usually supply the information in the CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) in the form of few words (or key words) written in a notepad, agenda or at the backside of a maintenance work order. Therefore, most of the time the quality of data is very low, registries are very poor, information is generic and does not add value to the background history of equipment. Sometimes these data are not really true; they are only remembrances from the maintenance worker’s memory. In natural gas pipeline companies, like TBG, with large extensions of pipes and installations distributed so far from each other it is usual that maintenance personnel go to the field job and sometimes do not come back to the office at the same day. In addition, the need to access the corporate network to input maintenance data in the Maintenance Module of Enterprise Resource Planning means that maintenance registries are something that do not flow easily from field to database. Technicians also spend a lot of time in front of the computer decreasing their productive working hours. Being aware of the importance of data to a consistent integrity pipeline program and to solve the problems related above, TBG implemented Maintenance in the Palm of the Hand project and distributed handheld PCs to all technicians, with software that works like an electronic maintenance work order. This system permits to collect maintenance data in real time (timesheet, measurements and information about the job and related problems) and also providing important information to help technicians perform their jobs (equipment data, set points and task list). If necessary, they can start a maintenance request. At any moment it is possible to connect to the corporate network and download data to CMMS. This project allowed TBG to increase quality and reliability of maintenance data and speed of information flow from field to CMMS, eliminating the need to print work orders and data sheets, increasing the productivity of technicians and reducing the time spent on boring tasks such as taking notes.

Computer-aided maintenance management systems selection based on a fuzzy AHP approach

Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is widely considered as a powerful tool for organizations to improve the efficiency of their maintenance function. Nevertheless, the selection of the appropriate CMMS is not a trivial task. Furthermore, how proving the impact of the selected software on the functioning of the maintenance structure.The aim of this work is twofold: on the one hand, define reusable criteria for selecting a CMMS from a range of tools available online. On the other hand, propose a reusable approach to study and analyze the impact of the use of a CMMS on the functioning of a maintenance structure. The proposed approach is illustrated throughout a case study within an oil company.
