How do I solve IATF compliance challenges with a CMMS?

The new IATF (International Automotive Task Force) compliance challenges can be solved by using a CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) to track, observe, replace, and repair equipment to the IATF specifications. Some specific ways in which a CMMS does this include:

Streamlining operations in accordance with the IATF
Collecting and analyzing data sets
Accessing comprehensive reports on your systems
Standardizing your work flows
Creating or maintaining documents
And more, depending on your company’s needs.

However, it may seem like you don’t need a new system to accomplish these goals, particularly if the system you have works well. Why should you consider switching to a CMMS to solve the IATF compliance challenges? We break down the benefits of a CMMS and how it can help you achieve IATF compliance.

The Benefits of CMMS Software

CMMS software is designed to organize tasks and to keep team members on track. While most CMMS software services are designed with maintenance challenges in mind, the data sets that they collect can be used in multiple applications.

One of the other ways a CMMS can help is by making sure that your company is meeting all applicable government standards. Depending on the system that your company uses, you can pull reports that showcase exactly which standards your business meets and which tasks need to be completed so that your equipment and facilities can become compliant.

Solving IATF Compliance Challenges

In the most basic of terms, this solves the challenges that the IAFT presents by giving companies a look into where they are and where they are going in terms of compliance. Instead of relying on a lengthy policy draft, a business can use a CMMS, which breaks down compliance tasks step-by-step. This enables companies to improve internal standards to meet government requirements.

If they are not in compliance, the CMMS can provide insight on how to get there. This prevents hiring additional staff or contract employees to check and ensure that the company is meeting those regulations.

A CMMS can also free up resources in-house by automating parts of your maintenance strategy. Learn more about how a CMMS can help your business today at the UpKeep Learning Center.
