Facilities management has been one of the fastest growing professional disciplines for some years, both in terms of volume and diversity of commercial activity. However, a widely accepted and implemented body of knowledge is still lacking. This book contributes to that knowledge building by taking models and ideas from a wide range of sources and linking them to extensive case study material drawn from practising facilities managers. The text is divided into three parts: · Current practice is illustrated, with a second chapter looking at enhancing services · Key facilities management issues are considered:user needs evaluation, outsourcing and computer-based information systems · Extensive advice is provided on managing people through change and on decision making The Second Edition features new material on user needs, briefing and procurement strategy, together with new public sector case studies. ‘This high quality book provides a comprehensive approach to the range of issues [and] the combination of case studies with theoretical perspectives and research has a strong practical emphasis’ Chartered Surveyor Monthly 'A thorough and very well researched book...as a student text it is first class' Construction Manager

This book teaches Facilities Management (FM) practitioners the steps that can help them take decisive steps towards creating clarity and direction in FM. There is something in this book for both seasoned and new FM practitioners as both face the same problem - their function is viewed as non-strategic, a support role, and a cost centre. As a result of that, many FM practitioners are out of synch with the core business activities of their different organizations and are not fulfilled in their roles. To help them out of their misery, the author shares professional pieces of timely advice to help FM practitioners to not just practice FM the right way, but to also be knowledgeable enough to position their functions as a strategic one. The book bridges the gap between what is desired in FM and what the reader already knows in a deliberate attempt at offering solutions that cut across the industry. "What is Facilities Management All About?" tackles the challenges facing FM in a ground-up approach. First, the book seeks to get readers to be aligned with FM identity and proceeds to outline ways in which practitioners can make FM a value centre instead of a cost centre or a profit centre. At the end of the book, readers will be more informed about the identity of FM, the mission of FM, and the core responsibilities of FM. With this knowledge, they can be in a better position to relate their function to top executives in their organization so as to elevate it to a strategic one. Hence, the book is a must-read for both new and seasoned FM practitioners.

This book examines the Facilities Management (FM) of hospitals and healthcare facilities, which are among the most complex, costly and challenging kind of buildings to manage. It presents and evaluates the FM service quality standards in Singapore’s hospitals from the patient’s perspective, and provides recommendations on how to successfully improve FM service quality and achieve higher patient satisfaction. The book also features valuable supplementary materials, including a checklist of 32 key factors for successful facilities management and another checklist of 24 service attributes for hospitals to achieve desirable service quality in connection with facilities management. The book adopts a unique approach of combining service quality and quality theory to provide a more holistic view of how FM service quality can be achieved in hospitals. It also integrates three instruments, namely the SERVQUAL model, the Kano model and the QFD model to yield empirical results from surveys for implementation in hospitals. Although the book was written from the perspective of FM service quality for hospitals, the findings and recommendations are also relevant for other non-healthcare sectors where appropriate lessons may also be drawn for FM and service quality in general. It will particularly benefit Quality Managers, Facilities Managers and Hospital Administrators.
