Facilities Management
Facilities Management encompasses multi disciplines to ensure functionality of the built environment by integrating people, place, process, and technology. It is important to note that technology is critical to the efficiency and effectiveness of facilities management. Facilities Management is the quintessential business function affecting not only revenues and cost but also production, quality of life for employees, health and safety, the work environment and increasingly, areas such as recruitment and employment retention. When practiced properly the following benefits accrue to the organisation:
- Facility masterplans matching organisations plans.
- Effective and efficient space planning which is available when and where it is needed.
- Employee productivity is maximised, costs are minimised, sometimes avoided, and always predicted.
- Capital expenditures are planned and controlled.
- Repairs and maintenance work planned
