Facilities Management News

Every business wants to adopt and sustain a proactive maintenance agenda. Getting ahead of potential problems typically translates to a longer life for equipment, decreased maintenance costs and a lower risk of downtime. Those are all worthy objectives for any facility. Making the shift from reactive to proactive maintenance involves a complete transformation.

Stakeholders first need to uncover where their spend is going and measure the effectiveness of their facilities management program. Organizations with nationwide facilities face a more daunting challenge, as getting visibility into spend per location may be difficult to achieve.
