Your CMMS is the sixth man!

The sixth man concept, taken from basketball, is useful when considering how CMMS can help facilities maintenance and management teams from get the extra support they need in 2022 or beyond.

Think of the role the bench plays, specifically in basketball, and the 6th man. The sixth man (6th man) in basketball is a player, not in a starting role (they play lights out, by the way, but they’re not in a starting role) that comes off the bench more often than the other reserve players, and they bring high impact, production, and deliver in the gaps when starters need to rest, get injured, or you need extra help at a specific spot or at several spots on the court. Your CMMS, computerized maintenance management system, is your sixth man in facilities and maintenance management. How does your FMMS or CMMS do this? have listen to this episode to find out.
