This article recommends that, to attain computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) success, a utility should start with an evaluation of its maintenance work processes and prioritize them based on how important they are to the utility's goals or measures of success. The article discusses how to identify and measure each task by using a risk‐based auditing method that uses asset management protocols for measuring the consequence and likelihood of failure for each CMMS‐related work process. This method allows you to prioritize your CMMS efforts and apply resources only to the efforts that will lead to success.
