This study focuses on the implementation of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), commonly referred to as CMMS, to enhance efficiency and productivity within ECO Special Waste Management PTE LTD's engineering department. The manual work order management method has demonstrated its inefficiency, causing disruptions due to frequent breakdowns, extended downtime, inadequate asset and inventory management, absence of effective preventive and predictive maintenance programs, and recurrent miscommunication among ground-level workers, managers, and stakeholders. CMMS offers a swift and predictable resolution to these challenges, backed by data showcasing its significant efficacy in boosting engineering department productivity. Nevertheless, successful implementation requires more than just adoption – it necessitates proper training, techniques, and consistent follow-up to ensure optimal utilization of the automated system's capabilities. This research identifies and examines three key elements: work order management/analysis, downtime analysis, and daily job planning/scheduling, all integral to the successful integration of CMMS in the engineering department, ultimately resulting in heightened efficiency and productivity.
