ABSTRACT
Computer systems are an integral part of modem engineering maintenance management. In order for the whole maintenance system to function effectively, five principal computer systems should be designed correctly and operated. These five systems are
I. Equipment control 2. Work control 3. Maintenance spare parts and inventory control 4. Cost accumulation and reporting 5. Performance reporting
These five computer systems control the three principal variables (equipment and facilities, labor, and materials); accumulate and summarize costs; measure performance in comparison to some standard; and report to management the effectiveness of the entire integrated management system.
