A museum houses a collection of artifacts and artwork, showcasing the history and culture of a particular place or period. Supporting and maintaining the infrastructure for a large collection can be difficult, especially if you don’t have the right tools to help. A computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) tool can organize and automate maintenance tasks throughout the museum.
Facility management software is becoming increasingly important in schools and universities.
Automating maintenance operations results in more management control, enhanced FM services, and lower costs
Through the implementation and use of software applications, facilities managers can oversee a building-wide or enterprise-wide equipment maintenance management program that ensures equipment life and prevents increases in operating costs.
Emergency preparedness – commonly known in facilities management as emergency management – is a discipline of unvarying planning, preparation and support for emergency situations that may someday affect either the premises or the human and physical assets that exist on the premises. It is a program that seeks to both avoid risk – as well as prevent the negative impacts of risk when the situation arises.
The healthcare industry is quickly becoming a dominant sector of the American economy – recession proof, some say – so it is easy to understand that each physical healthcare facility of any type is a significant strategic asset that requires rigorous upkeep by in-house staff and third-party vendors.
The experienced facilities manager knows that proper and regularly-scheduled equipment maintenance assures maximum life and peak operating efficiency for all premise equipment. At the same time, regularly-scheduled equipment maintenance guards against unexpected failures
that sometimes result in operational downtime for the company.
Equipment must be maintained on a routine basis. Walkways cleared of snow during the winter. Air-handling units for the building may require service before the heat of summer begins. These are just a small number of routine efforts made by nonprofit facilities managers every day that demonstrate their commitment to continuing to serve their cause and community.
Change is inevitable. Computers changed the way that facilities managers plan, schedule, and communicate across their facilities – as well as how assets are managed. Process improvement has become commonplace for every type of workplace and environment – a daily routine, an imperative.
Benefit: The ability to set a daily schedule enables staff to schedule service that happens only on weekdays with one schedule. It also can be used to setup alternating days schedules and other arrangements.
