The initial stage of the study involved comprehensive literature reviews to gather the data about importance of maintenance, previous implemented maintenance system and types of maintenance system as well as information about Computerize Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Quantitative research approach was adopted through questionnaire surveys. The analysis method is mainly derived from descriptive analysis. Thus, this paper explored the potential application to reduce total downtime and failure of plant and equipment by improving the effectiveness of maintenance management system. This system is computer based program simplifies and decease the duration of finding fault compare to the presently used paper-based reporting.
