EAM expertise
EAM and CMMS consulting: make your asset maintenance more reliable
Critical equipment, interventions, spare parts, costs: our EAM / CMMS consultants help you move from reactive maintenance to managed maintenance.
Why work with an EAM / CMMS consultancy?
EAM (Enterprise Asset Management), or CMMS (computerised maintenance management system), organises the life of equipment: asset inventory and hierarchy, preventive maintenance plans, work requests and work orders, spare parts, subcontracting and costs.
For a maintenance manager or operations director, a successful EAM project relies on reliable asset data and tools suited to the field. CNEXT works on the selection, deployment, migration and evolution of your CMMS.
The problems we solve
Situations we regularly encounter with our industrial clients.
Mostly corrective maintenance
Breakdowns dictate the workload; preventive maintenance is planned but rarely carried out on time.
Incomplete asset data
The equipment hierarchy, histories and parts lists are patchy.
Technicians without mobile tools
Intervention reports are entered late, or not at all; the history is lost.
Obsolete CMMS
An outdated solution, or different solutions from site to site, prevents any consolidation of costs and performance.
Our EAM / CMMS services
We support you from structuring the data through to running the solution.
- Scoping and audit of your existing CMMS set-up
