What are the differences between EAM and CMMS?

The main difference between an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system and a Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) lies in their scope and objectives:

EAM

EAM aims to manage the entire lifecycle of an organisation’s assets, from acquisition to disposal. It encompasses the management of physical assets, such as equipment, facilities, vehicles and so on.

The main objective is to optimise the value of assets over their entire lifecycle by maximising their use, minimising maintenance costs and ensuring regulatory compliance.

CMMS

CMMS focuses specifically on the management of maintenance activities. Its objective is to ensure the availability and reliability of equipment by planning, monitoring, and optimising corrective and preventive maintenance operations.
