Through a rigorous application of standardized, orderly, comprehensive, and scalable asset data, coupled with the developing organizational cultures for consuming and maintaining that data at all levels of the organizations, multiple universities, including Gordon State College, are gaining the ability to optimize their computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS / EAMS / IWMS) to enable staff to inspect and maintain critical assets for better performance and life cycles. Reporting on clean data allows them to self-perform condition assessments in a more granular and accurate manner than is possible using other methodologies. Reporting capabilities flowing from this effort serve as the foundation for requesting, and receiving, staffing and other resources with data-supported evidence and supports capital needs analyses and reporting. Come learn from this panel how these institutions are laying the track to stay on track.
