Course Introduction
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) are essential tools for managing the planning, tracking, and execution of maintenance activities across asset-intensive industries. Leading platforms such as SAP S4/HANA, SAP R3, Infor EAM, and IBM Maximo offer powerful capabilities to streamline maintenance workflows, reduce downtime, and extend asset life.
This 5-day practical training explores the application, configuration, and integration of major CMMS platforms. Participants will gain hands-on understanding of asset hierarchies, work order processing, preventive maintenance scheduling, and reporting functionalities, preparing them to contribute effectively to digital maintenance transformation initiatives.
