4. Animation, motivation, training

By choosing to implement a CMMS software package, the company acquires a high-performance, reliable management support tool for its maintenance organization and policy.

Industrial managements, maintenance managers, specialized consultants and all studies in this field agree that a CMMS cannot significantly improve the results of the maintenance function unless a maintenance management policy and strategy have been defined.

An optimized maintenance organization must take into account three additional factors:

• how to create an animation system ;

• how to create the conditions to motivate the players involved;

• how to build an effective training plan.
