CMMS- Friend or Foe

By Mr Joel D Levitt

A Graphic Guide to the Realities of the Computerized Maintenance Management System

Most CMMS implementations fail, not because of the software, but because of how it's used.

If your Computerized Maintenance Management System feels like an expensive burden, your work orders are incomplete, and your team is working around the system instead of with it, this book was written for you.

In CMMS - Friend or Foe?, internationally recognized maintenance expert Joel Levitt strips away the complexity of CMMS with humor, real-world scenarios, and illustrated storytelling that turns dry technical content into immediately actionable insight.

What You'll Learn:

The true purpose of a CMMS, and the most common reasons it underperformsWhy poor data quality silently damages decisions across accounting, engineering, and operationsHow work orders affect your entire organization, far beyond the maintenance departmentThe overlooked history of CMMS resistance, and why it keeps repeatingHow AI and analytics are reshaping modern maintenance management

This Book Is For You If You Are:

A maintenance technician or worker looking to get more from the tools available to youA reliability or maintenance professional trying to close the gap between system potential and daily realityA manager or engineer who needs a practical, no-jargon guide to smarter maintenance decisionsAnyone implementing, upgrading, or evaluating a CMMS who wants to avoid costly and time-consuming mistakes

Whether you're new to maintenance management or leading a large-scale CMMS rollout, this graphic guide delivers the perspective shift that textbooks and vendor manuals never provide.
