The evidence is overwhelming when it comes to the benefits of using a CMMS software<\/strong> for Maintenance Service interventions<\/strong>. However, what about for companies that call upon Subcontractors <\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Many companies subcontract their maintenance, either partially or fully. This generates logistics and a specific follow-up, which exceeds contractual agreements.<\/p>\n

What does it mean to subcontract Maintenance ?<\/h2>\n

Subcontracting is when a company delegates to another company the execution of all or part of its activity. A solution that has its advantages, but also, its disadvantages.<\/p>\n

Subcontracting allows, in particular, a company to be able to concentrate workforce on production, or eliminate the need for internal maintenance teams (and adjusting numbers in teams depending on situations). There\u2019s a certain risk involved in subcontracting however, such as losing some of the company\u2019s know-how, being dependent on your service provider, or paying annual maintenance fees for services that do not truly reflect the company\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

That is why it is so important to set up a real collaborative partnership, which will allow the company to maintain control over information and everything that is done in its workshops. Transparency of this kind must be specified in the contract and can be made easier with the use of CMMS software.<\/p>\n

How can CMMS contribute to managing the company\u2019s relationship with its subcontractors ?<\/h2>\n

A CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Software) along with its many features, allows the company to standardize processes within a single solution.<\/p>\n

When outsourcing maintenance, using the company’s CMMS software makes it possible to preserve all existing data, which would be important for example, when changing service providers. The CMMS makes it possible to track the hours worked by the subcontractor and to analyze the savings level compared to the established contract.<\/p>\n

Another important advantage is the capacity to manage Regulatory and Safety documents in relation to subcontracting, such as legal certificates, prevention plans, fire permits, special instructions, regulations pertaining to Health and Safety Obligations, and so on.<\/p>\n

Reminder : Prevention plan<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A Prevention Plan makes it possible to reduce the risks related to collective collaborative work on a given intervention site. It allows the main company to define and formalize general measures and regulations that must be applied to external companies, and also to define any specific measures that will need to be taken by a company depending on its role in an intervention. This document act as a means to identify and analyze the risk of interference between activities and installations, and also to put in place prevention measures.<\/em><\/p>\n

CCMS software allows the company to keep track of external provider contracts, whether they are suppliers or subcontractors. The company therefore has a better overview of interventions, pending requests, and provider commitments as outlined in the established contract.<\/p>\n
