Computerised maintenance management: the fleet's memory
A maintenance management system keeps the history of every asset, schedules interventions and tracks parts. It is the memory that lets you decide between repairing and replacing. Its value grows with the depth of the history it retains.
One database for the whole fleet
A computerised maintenance management system centralises the asset fleet, intervention history, the preventive plan, spare parts inventory and availability indicators. Its value comes with time: after two years it answers the question that settles a budget — does this asset cost more to maintain than to replace.
- Fleet, history, preventive plan, parts and indicators in one place
- The system's value grows with the depth of its history
- It informs the trade-off between maintaining and replacing
What the system makes possible
The Industrial Maintenance and Energy programme has candidates work a full system: recording interventions, triggering preventive work, managing the parts store. The Business Intelligence and Steering programme extracts the indicators: availability, cost per asset, forecast workshop load.

Programmes that put it to work
2 catalogue programmes put “Computerised maintenance management” to work: 240 credits and 2400 taught hours in total. The official rule holds throughout — one credit stands for 25 hours of work, 10 of them taught. Every line below is recomputed from the programme page: level, duration, credits, taught volume and fees in Guinean francs appear exactly as filed in the official catalogue.
| Programme | Level | Duration | Volume | Fees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Maintenance and Energy | Bachelor's degree | 2 years | 120 credits · 1200 taught hours | 5 400 000 GNF per year |
| Business Intelligence and Steering | Bachelor's degree | 2 years | 120 credits · 1200 taught hours | 5 000 000 GNF per year |
What applicants want to know
Do you need an expensive tool to start?
The method matters more than the tool: a well-described fleet and a maintained history already produce most of the value.
Which indicators come first?
Availability of critical assets, cumulative cost per asset and the share of preventive work in total load.
How long before the system pays off?
It helps from the first scheduling round, and it informs budget trade-offs once the history spans two financial years.
