AMMMMMMMMS

Really it's AMMS, which is a CMMS for doing PM's. Right. So AMMS stands for Automatic Maintenance Management System, which is really a CMMS: Computer Maintenance Management System, for doing PM's, or preventative maintenance. Laymen's terms: a computer program that automatically tells you when to do preventative maintenance on a piece of equipment - maintenance to prevent a break. And why am I writing about all these crazy acronyms? Well that's because I just started using AMMS to help design our site's PM program. Which although it's not as cool as a Gucci fashion show, is pretty neat! I'm learning a new-to-me computer program and I'm working on something that will save the company money, because it's better to run the line as scheduled instead of having to stop and wait for a broken machine to get repaired. It's a little frustrating just because the program doesn't contain normal shortcuts, like ctl+f for finding an entry, so I have to just look through all the entries for something, but like I said, I think it's pretty cool to do.
