Buildings require maintenance to ensure their functionality and ensure that they do not deteriorate to a state of creating safety concerns to users. The importance of maintenance is unfortunately not appreciated by most owners who view it as a necessary evil and commit minimum funds for the work. This leads to a reactive mode of maintenance rather than a planned preventive approach, with implications on service quality and increasing costs as defects are inevitably attended to too late.
Maintenance efforts and programmes are bespoke to each organisation, which will set maintenance standards and service levels aligned to corporate business plans, function of the building and expected period of occupation in the building. Such considerations should be considered in the context of a framework which allows the derivation of appropriate maintenance strategies, standards, organisational structure for the work and sufficiency of maintenance budgets.
The course will provide knowledge and skills to establish a maintenance management framework as a precursor to efficient and cost effective work planning and execution and will cover aspects such as:
- Drivers of Maintenance: Cost & Service
- Parameters for Deriving a Maintenance Strategy
- Development of a Maintenance Policy and Maintenance Standards to Meet Organisational Needs
- Derivation of Long, Medium & Short Term Maintenance Budgets
- Guidelines for Maintenance Outsourcing & Performance Monitoring.
