The purchase of information technology in the form of a CMMS/EAM system is not a quick fix or a panacea. Many excellent systems are available, but surveys have consistently shown that only 80% of CMMSs are actually being used. In turn, typically only 30% of CMMSs functional capabilities are being used. Expenditures for CMMSs were 553 million in 1995 and have grown to over 1 billion in 2000. Therefore, gaining full value from your CMMS investment should be a top priority.

Condition-based monitoring systems wUl eventuaUy link data coUection directly back to suppliers such as CSI, ENTER, SKF, and others via the Internet or RF. Reliability data analysis by off-site reliability experts providing contract services wUl be as close as e-mail.
