Airport Computerized Maintenance Management Systems Maintenance planning and execution is a critical aspect of a facilities management organization within an airport. Airports, in general whether large or small, have a substantial number of assets, many with high dollar values.

• Difficult information exchange among departments and systems • Lack of timely coordination • Applications which are difficult to support • Redundant data entry for different systems • Insufficient distribution of relevant data across departments and systems • Impede establishment of standards within the airport • Duplicate and non-standard physical infrastructures (e.g., servers, databases, networks, cable plants, etc.) • Lack of cost effectiveness in supporting multiple systems • Difficulty in inter-departmental communications • Difficulty in achieving common organizational goals Department-centric systems also leave the airport without the "big picture" perspective of airport assets and maintenance that is critical to operations and planning.

A challenge in implementation of an airport CMMS, as with any system, is cost. There are options, which range from a custom system developed natively within the airport over time, implementation of some modules of a full CMMS implementation, a "vanilla" implementation of a CMMS without customization, to a full-scale off-the shelf and highly-customized CMMS.
