Why you need Facilities Management On-Demand
Facilities Management should be focussed on Planned Preventative Maintenance however, there will always be a certain degree of reactive maintenance. Facilities Managers need to understand that FM On-Demand is not always the same as Reactive Maintenance. Both refers to an unplanned event, the difference however is in how the FM prepares and approaches each.
On-Demand Facilities Management would be an unplanned event that requires a quick effective structured approach to avoid business interruption or loss of facility. This could happen any time including after hours. Most often waiting until the next business day to address this event is not an option. For instance: A water pipe burst in your facility. At this point you have a couple of options to address the problem. You may have in-house staff qualified to address the burst pipe; however, you will need to get them to site, shut off the water, source the required material, implement measures to avoid extensive damage and much more.
The best approach to this problem is to get a Facilities Management Service Provider to handle this making sure they are competent and prepared to deal with issues that may arise. The benefits for outsourcing this function:
- Expands your in-house team when needed.
- Flexibility for unplanned events.
- Qualified technicians available when required.
- Rates can be agreed upfront.
- No need to source service providers and vetting quotes.
Your FM strategy should be based on Planned Preventative Maintenance and planning for the unforeseen should be part of the plan. In this instance failing to plan is planning to fail and will result in out of control costs and problems.
