Government Ownership, Chapter 11 and CMMS

I know you're asking, "What have these subjects to do with each other?" A lot, actually. Or, nothing, more precisely. Well, okay, it depends really.

CMMS - Government Ownership, Chapter 11 and CMMS

The economy is not doing particularly well right now. As a consequence, the Government has leapt resolutely onto the stage to save thousands of jobs and entire industries from the ravages of financial contraction and not a few bad decisions. This assistance is sometimes paltry; just a few billion dollars. In other instances, they provide somewhat more, including real money, public advice, behind-the-scenes direction and an outright ownership stake. Unfortunately, then may come a Chapter 11 filing because this is government assistance, which is not so much.

CMMS is the wonder software for businesses operating in a weak economy

So? So, computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) can save the day helping to avoid government intervention. Yes it can. CMMS, or sophisticated maintenance software, salvages profitability, raises productivity and helps to preserve the bottom line for the corporate investors. All that.

And, supposing your plant and equipment are not under any immediate threat of government salvation? Thank goodness. Here lies promise and opportunity. CMMS (maintenance software) provides a significant return on investment for two main reasons:

  1. CMMS ensures a professional preventive maintenance process throughout the operation resulting in reduced downtime for machinery and equipment which, of course, increasing overall plant efficiency; and,
  2. CMMS can significantly lower two major maintenance costs, inventory and contractor payments. Asset maintenance software eliminates guesswork in the ordering process for parts and stock inventory. Managed maintenance also limits expensive contractors by keeping critical repairs in-house.

Mapcon Technologies, Inc., has been in the CMMS business for over 30 years
