Skip The Shiny Technology to Focus Basic Fundamentals and What is Prescriptive Maintenance

James Kovacevic returns as an expert guest on CMMSradio to discuss the pivotal role of mastering the basics in maintenance practices, particularly in achieving optimal Overall Equipment Effectiveness (#OEE) within the framework of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (#CMMS). James stresses the importance of establishing a robust foundation, encompassing efficient work order management, spare parts optimization, and accurate asset hierarchy, before delving into advanced technologies like prescriptive maintenance. 

Too often maintenance teams succumb to the allure of shiny new technologies, thinking it’s a magic silver bullet, without first ensuring the organization has the requisite data infrastructure and operational processes in place to succeed. Prioritizing the cultivation of a strong maintenance framework, and even stronger maintenance culture, aligned with overarching business objectives, and gradually integrating advanced tools such as prescriptive maintenance into the CMMS ecosystem, companies can bolster their OEE while sidestepping the pitfalls of hype-driven technology adoption!

Thank you, James, for joining us once again to help everyone on their CMMS journey with an eye toward maintenance and reliability best practices that make sense.
