Facility management is the process and discipline of optimizing a building for commercial success. The facility manager ensures that tenants are safe, comfortable, and that their building performs at its peak without them having to lift a finger. A joint effort from the manager and their maintenance team creates a functional facility that serves it’s tenants exceptionally every day.
You know facility management is important, but how do you execute it in a way that reduces costs while improving building performance? That’s the question that your facility management plan should answer. A strong facility maintenance plan:
- Ensures continuity among maintenance departments
- Outlines the maintenance needs of a building based on age, performance, installed systems, and plans for the future
- Anticipates short-term and long-term maintenance needs
- Offers a guide for every maintenance staff member on their role in the overall management of the building
- Helps you plan, track, and maximize cost-reduction
Your facility maintenance plan is important, but it is only theoretical. Your facility management system is the training and actions that yield results. You need to have a plan before you create a sustainable system. However, it’s not enough. Your system is what turns your building into an efficient, low-cost place for business. Your facility management system should:
- Consist of a facilities management team with both management and maintenance staff participation
- Provide training at every employee level
- Adjust annually based on your results
- Work seamlessly because it actually follows your plan
- Include participation from your MaintenX specialists
