Computerised Planned Maintenance Systems For Use in Shipping Industry
The development of computerised PMS was boosted by computer development, especially the development of Windows. A variety of PMS programs for shipboard use appeared, and gradually they become more and more sophisticated and complex. Producers recognized shipping needs and most of the programs today have several (semi)independent modules and the customer (shipping company) can choose what package they want to use. Programs today do not contain only maintenance, they offer almost all what is needed on board the ship.
Most common modules in modern PMS system include:
- Maintenance (main and essential part of program)
- Drydocking
- Hull inspection maintenance program
- Surveys and certificates class society integration
- Stock ordering and purchase
- Stock control (inventory)
- Safety management
- Quality management
- Crewing management
- Crew payroll
- Self-assessment
- Energy and envionmental management
- Document management systems
- Enterprise reporting
Modules can vary between different programs, but they are all based and built around main module, Maintenance.
