In the construction industry plant and equipment one of the important and main sources is to increase productivity of the project. To keep available the plant and equipment need all of technical, administrative, managerial action during the whole life cycle of the project. The study investigates about issue of plant and equipment maintenance management in Malaysian Construction Companies. The aim of this research paper is to improve the efficiency of plant and equipment maintenance management in Selangor construction industry by using Computerize Maintenance Management System (CMMS). The initial stage of the study involved comprehensive literature reviews to gather the data about importance of maintenance, previous implemented maintenance system and types of maintenance system as well as information about Computerize Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Quantitative research approach was adopted through questionnaire surveys. The analysis method is mainly derived from descriptive analysis. Thus, this paper explored the potential application to reduce total downtime and failure of plant and equipment by improving the effectiveness of maintenance management system. This system is computer based program simplifies and decease the duration of finding fault compare to the presently used paper-based reporting.

The study attempted to examine the user training and experience on user acceptance of a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) in a continuously progressing industry where maintenance management is extremely vital for the smooth functioning. A cross-sectional study design was used in this research. The study population comprised of users of CMMS. The analysis was mainly carried out using structured equation modeling techniques. The results reveal that perceived usefulness was the most significant determinant of adoption of a complex system than all the other variables, underscoring the importance of incorporating the appropriate functional capabilities in new systems. The findings affirm that a system will be adopted if it is regarded as useful, irrespective of attitude, provided that the use of the system is perceived to offer direct benefits to the user. All the relationships existing between perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude towards using, and behavioral intention were tested and found to be significant and positive. Further analysis revealed that experience helps in ease of use but not in usefulness while training impacts on both usefulness and ease of use. Based on the analysis results recommendations were made to track the value of user training and experience accordingly.

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.

For prevention of failure and extension of maintenance interval, many Asian power companies have continuously tried to apply Condition Based Maintenance system to their plants. However, only few companies succeed to change their maintenance system from fixed time based to equipment condition based, although there are many brand new ITs, such as high speed computing system, huge storage device, and advanced development software tools. This paper describes the reasons why they failed to change and proposes the solutions to construct maintenance management system based on equipment condition. The solutions were also applied practically to power plant in Korea.

The maintenance system of high-speed military tracked vehicles and the graphic original interpretation of maintenance activity (mainly maintenance) are described. A modification of the maintenance system of the above-mentioned vehicles based on dependability-oriented maintenance (Reliability Cantered Maintenance – RCM) is proposed. Additionally, the use of the statistical analysis of maintenance cases and the development of Computerised Maintenance Management System – CMMC are proposed as well.
