Planned Maintenance Software

Planned Maintenance Management through CAFM software

Planned Maintenance (PM), often referred to as Planned Preventive Maintenance (‘PPM’) or Scheduled Maintenance, is any variety of scheduled maintenance to an object or item of equipment. Specifically, Planned Maintenance is a scheduled service visit carried out by a competent individual, to ensure that an item of equipment is operating correctly and to therefore avoid any unscheduled breakdown and downtime.

A number of Legislative planned maintenance requirements are due to legislation, such as The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974  (also referred to as HSWA, the HSW Act, the 1974 Act or HASAWA).

How Can our Helpdesk Module help you?

Planned Maintenance (PM) is an essential part of pro-actively managing not only the compliance elements of any maintenance activity but also the reliability and longevity of the assets in the estate. However, it is difficult to get this right and you could be putting your business at risk not to mention wasting time and money if you are not on top of this task.
