By the term Facility Management we define the Complete Services System which combines and integrates multiple practices and services, to ensure functionality in a building complex where people, machinery, buildings and finally technology in any form coexist.
Thus, through the practices that are selected and applied, in the context of Facility Management, organizations try to shape and maintain the appropriate environment for their people and their visitors.
The services included in the term Facility Management, are categorized in the following areas:
- Technical management: construction and energy management, administrative services, security systems, operation and maintenance of buildings, etc.
- Services management: Services related to the cleaning, parking, catering and security of the company.
- Business operations management: In this group we meet human resource management services, logistics etc.
We have just to consider, how much it affects, in real time, the performance of employees, if for example their working environment can not meet their needs for the smooth accomplishment of their work.
It is, therefore, a necessity, especially nowadays that the correct implementation of facility management is a key parameter for all companies, regardless the size and activity, and this at a time when the need to reduce operating costs is considered imperative.
