Micromain Corporation

MicroMain Corporation provides award-winning asset and facility management software and services to organizations worldwide.
Using MicroMain's software as part of its maintenance excellence practice, Mammoth, a leader in manufacturing excellence, has reduced overall maintenance costs by 52%. And that's just the beginning.
An industry leader in custom heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment (HVAC), Mammoth has embraced many technological changes since opening its doors as the Brown Sheet Iron and Steel Company in 1935.
Innovation in the form of MicroMain's computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) was implemented in 2000, as part of the company's new maintenance excellence program.
"Facility maintenance costs decreased by 52 percent," says Jeff Nevenhoven, Technical Support Manager at Mammoth's headquarters in Chaska, Minnesota. "Overtime is down by 48 percent, and more work is getting done with 42 percent less manpower. Overall our emergency responses have decreased greatly. This is a direct result of an increased focus on corrective and preventive
maintenance work."
Prior to using MicroMain, Mammoth used a manual system for maintaining its facility and equipment, with an emphasis on responding to down equipment. That was quite a challenge considering maintenance is responsible for Mammoth's multi-million-dollar sheet metal equipment, paint booths, welding machinery, overhead cranes and water test tanks in addition to the entire facility, grounds and support systems.
With the CMMS, maintenance technicians and a planner/scheduler are now able to easily schedule preventive maintenance and focus on preventing problems rather than resolving them.
