MEX as a CMMS

MEX transforms your computer into a control centre for all the maintenance work that your organisation performs. With MEX you have the ability to know what Assets you own and manage, the work that needs to be done and has been done on an Asset, and the information on the manpower usage, spare parts, costs and failures of an Asset.

MEX is written with three key concepts in mind – ease of use, Windows based and low cost. This has been the primary focus which helps us to make the decisions on how MEX is constructed, updated and evolves.

Few businesses operate without an accounting system to manage financial data. MEX is just as essential for managing maintenance of facilities or production equipment. It has taken a large investment to get your facilities and equipment in place, therefore it is just as important to manage the maintenance of these assets.

The benefits of using MEX include:

Understanding past Equipment Asset Cost Performance

If MEX achieved just this one benefit, it would be worth it. You can use MEX in the most simple way by entering equipment maintenance history for each key item. MEX provides tools to help you analyse history and costs. You can collate information and extract it to help you make critical business decisions. By continuing to add maintenance history as it occurs, you keep key decision-making information up to date.

Make Managing Maintenance Easier

MEX is easy to learn and use, and also has the practical functions that align with the daily tasks you perform. Firstly, ensure your equipment assets are recorded consistently, with the cost of work recorded against them - this little task will be a great help! MEX also contains simple and practical functions such as “Print the Unprinted Work Orders", these make organising and controlling maintenance easier.

Improve Risk Management

Equipment problems can cause harm for employees and customers. Better Maintenance Management reduces this risk. If an incident does occur, it is comforting to know that you can quickly demonstrate that your business has a thorough maintenance plan which can be demonstrated using MEX records. Imagine not having this if you had regulatory authorities or legal representatives at your door.

Reduce Equipment Asset Costs

Imagine starting each week with a maintenance work plan for your valuable assets. MEX contains a “Maintenance Policy” function where you define what equipment is serviced and how frequently. It even lets you specify what parts are required and what lead time they have. You can optimise planned maintenance so you do just the right amount of work, reducing both parts and labour costs.

Reduce Breakdowns

The expense saved by eliminating just one breakdown event is often enough to cover the purchase price of MEX. Using MEX reduces unplanned downtime because you will know the right time to perform preventative work – all the time. You can optimise planned maintenance and have equipment unavailable only when planned.

Improve Customer Service Levels

It is difficult to recover customer confidence when your service level falls below their expectations – and yours. By reducing the incidence of unplanned down time and by knowing when equipment will be maintained, you can give customers reliable delivery information, giving you the competitive edge you need.

Gain Full Control of Maintenance

Whether you have a dedicated maintenance team, or a worker who does occasional maintenance, keeping control is not always easy. Simplify your maintenance management and increase control at the same time. Using MEX will help you to look ahead to see what trades skills are needed and when, to help manage your equipment assets.
