The CMMS Benchmarking System is available only from TMEI.  It is a universal CMMS benchmarking tool in Excel format. It provides the framework for an improvement process for gaining better use of CMMS and your current information technology for reliability and maintenance. This benchmarking tool was developed by TMEI Founder Ralph W. “Pete” Peters for a number of reasons;

1. As a means to evaluate the effectiveness of your current CMMS
2. To define and help upgrade functional gaps
3. To define how to enhance current use
4. To serve as a methodology to help develop and justify a replacement strategy.

This tool applies to all brands of CMMS; SAP, MAXIMO, DataStream, MicroMain and many, many more. The CMMS Benchmarking System has 9 benchmark categories and 50 benchmark items. It is easily adaptable and can be specifically tailored to all CMMS systems and to their intended application. The CMMS Benchmarking System is an “internal benchmarking” tool based upon global best practices and is becoming a model process for benchmarking effective use of CMMS. It provides a methodology for developing a benchmark rating of your CMMS as Class A, B, C, or D. This process determines how well your CMMS is supporting best practices and the total maintenance process.

It is not designed to evaluate the functionality of various CMMS systems nor is it intended to compare vendors.  It can also be used as a method to measure the future success and progress of a CMMS system implementation that is now being installed. Maintenance best practices are the key and the CMMS is the information technology tool that links it all together. Maintenance information is one of the key maintenance resources and must be a part of your approach to Continuous Reliability Improvement which covers all six maintenance resources.
