Case Study: Central Marin Sanitation Agency achieves 75% planned maintenance and 40% labor savings with NEXGEN Asset Management

NEXGEN Boosts Maintenance Efficiency and Labor Productivity for CMSA

Central Marin Sanitation Agency (CMSA) operates the largest wastewater treatment plant in Marin County, treating about 6 billion gallons per year and maintaining roughly 2,500 assets with 45 staff (including 9 maintenance personnel and 3 operators) across the plant and 21 remote stations. CMSA struggled with clunky, poorly configurable CMMS solutions before engaging NEXGEN, leaving at least 95% of maintenance unplanned and more than 700 open preventive maintenance (PM) work orders for just three mechanics.

NEXGEN was selected in 2008 for its configurable CMMS/asset management platform and asset planning modules; its implementers fine-tuned CMSA’s PM program and deployed NEXGEN Asset Management Mobile at the 21 remote stations. Within a year planned maintenance rose from 5% to 75%, and remote-station labor requirements fell by more than 40%, freeing mechanics to focus on preventive work and driving a lasting shift from reactive to proactive maintenance under NEXGEN.
