Schools, Colleges, and Universities have a lot to track when it comes to facilities and maintenance operations leaving the questions of "what should a school track in their CMMS platform?" It is easy to jump on that with "everything" and it is kind of true. The reality is we need a place to start that is not overwhelming but rather follows a building block approach. In this episode we cover the basics but in a detailed way. We want to keep it light but still get you off to a great start.
- It makes sense to track building, areas of each building, grounds, and other parts of your school or campus setting.
- Track your equipment assets - They're a critical part of your facilities.
- Preventive Maintenance - That's important. Realize HUGE gains with a proper PM program in place.
- Don't forget your users and your vendors. This might include your supply vendors.
- The process is different when starting with no system at all versus a lift and shift from an existing system.
- Get ready to dump all of those excel files, spreadsheets, emails, and post it notes. It's time to roll out a CMMS platform and do it right.
- Hire a consultant if you need help with your CMMS project.
