... provides an introduction to Computerized Maintenance Management Systems for those not familiar with them plus specific recommendations, now being strongly reinforced and repeated, that CMMS coding standards be established, and that they be based upon the strong construction industry foundation of the Construction Specifications Institute Masterformat Coding Scheme. This scheme is used in the United States and Canada.
