- Abstract
- Maintenance Management System is used to manage daily maintenance activities and planning guidelines for all the identified maintenance work activities. The purpose of this paper is to enhance the maintenance management system of private hospital in Kuwait state by using Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software to improve the overall equipment efficiency and maintenance indicators. It involves assessment of the impact of Maintenance Management Information System on the hospital building systems performance as well as the equipment maintenance performance. The assessment of impact of implementation of CMMS is identified through maintenance indicators such as Building Performance Index (BPI) and Maintenance Efficiency Index (MEI). These indicators have been developed specially for evaluation of the maintenance systems of health care facilities, where they are used here for the comparison of the periods before and after implementation of CMMS. The analysis reveals that there is a considerable increase in the Maintenance Efficiency Index and Building Performance Index and a simultaneous reduction in the maintenance expenses at the end of the period of the study.
