Consistent and careful maintenance is paramount for manufacturers to make sure operations run smoothly and efficiently, to prolong the life of equipment and to reduce overall costs, says Shawn Ackerman, general manager of CMMS provider Elecosoft ShireSystem.

In time, a CMMS reduces the cost of maintenance, increases asset life, improves productivity and lowers the cost of ownership.
