Facilities Management

Course Fee : 5,000 GBP
Course Duration : 5 Days

Overview

Facilities Management has become one of the largest budget expenses for major corporations and thus one of the biggest potential sources for cost saving and profit improvement.

The vast array of business facilities and assets available today such as utility plants, buildings, production plants, power & water distribution networks have become an increasingly expensive and complicated issue albeit more flexible.

This programme has been designed to teach each delegate the best practices for organising and managing a successful facilities department. The course goal is for the delegate to acquire the ability to control and sustain organisational facilities in an effective and efficient manner by integrating the use of people, function and place.

This course will discuss how to find the correct balance between the performance of organisational assets (availability, safety, reliability, and functionality) and the underlying costs. As well as the balance of maintaining facilities internally or outsourcing the job externally.
