Computerized Maintenance and Management System (CMMS) is an application that is used to manage the assets in an organization. This system can reduce the waste of space and time as compared to the old or manual paper-based system. The CMMS software is built as a web-based application, using the Internet as the medium to make it accessible from anywhere in the world for a better, easier and faster asset management. The designed system requires only a computer machine as a server where it is installed at. Any other computers will have the ability to access the system as long as it has an Internet browser. The knowledge management strategy has been applied to the system. The forum and history features in the system allow the process of knowledge sharing between human and software, as well as human and human. Chapter 1 will explain on the introduction of this report.
