Tiivistelmä
This thesis was done for Cimcorp Oy. Its objective was to determine the most optimal functions for the maintenance management system to serve the needs of the company and its customers and to develop an implementation plan. The system to be implemented will be integrated into the Enterprise Resource Planning system already in use.
The research was conducted as a qualitative thematic interview with three company employees and one customer. The interviews focused on the views and expectations of the future maintenance management system. The themes covered were customization, communication, user-friendliness, expected challenges and long-term expectations. Theoretically, the research methodology, the ERP system, maintenance, and the maintenance management system were introduced. The needs definition and the implementation of the system were also discussed.
The interviews gave very similar answers about the need for the system. The system was expected at Cimcorp and is expected to bring ease and systematicity to maintenance scheduling, resourcing, and reporting. Traceability and transparency were highlighted as a positive outcome of the interviews. It is hoped that the functions to be implemented will be easy to use and that the whole system will be simple to use. Training and involvement were seen as an important part of the whole implementation project.
The implementation project of the maintenance management system was started during the thesis. The results of the study were shared with the project team even before the thesis was completed.
