(CMMS) Computer Maintenance Management Software will be used as a process tool to discover and implement changes regarding both Predictive and Preventative Maintenance. The students will analyze the labs manufacturing equipment and create and close work orders, build preventative Maintenance schedules and preventative maintenance schedules in the CMMS software.
