CMMS Benchmarking Development In Mining Industries

Abstract: Effective resource management and reliable equipment are essential for optimize plant performance .Both depend up on accurate timely management of massive amount of data and on the effective use of maintenance resources. Computer management system (CMMS) also called computerized managed maintenance system or computerized asset management system (CAMS), are designed to fulfill these needs .These system can provide cost effective means of managing a massive amount data that are generated by maintenance, inventory control and purchasing .In addition, these systems can provide the means to manage effectively both human and capital resources in plant or facility.
This master thesis describes the concept and challenges of CMMS implementation success and also the CMMS benchmarking development in Boliden mining company case study two of the mine site such as Kristineberg and Renstrom. The result found from those mines compared with 33 paper mill factories in different Europe countries using the same Computer maintenance management system Maximo software.
The CMMS benchmarking System is introduced as a means to evaluate the effective use of the current CMMS implementation to define functional gaps and to define how to enhance current use. Results from using measures its level of services, practices and develops its own unique benchmarking criteria with high standards for maintenance excellence. Effective benchmarking should start locally with a total evaluation of current maintenance practices and procedures and then lead to the development of plan of actions that lead to effective implementation. The CMMS benchmarking System is simply adaptable and should be specifically tailored to the existing CMMS and to its intended application.
The contribution of this master thesis work can be summarized are: Identified the gap CMMS benchmarking effective implementation and maintenance performance, compare with other company ,discussed and suggestion are made for some of to be improved.
