Facility Manager's
Handbook - $87.00
|
The "bricks and mortar" issues of facility management – HVAC, lighting,
electrical, plumbing, space allocation, security and grounds maintenance –
continue to be at the core the facility manager's role.
However, the processes involved in addressing these areas have become more
complex.
The proliferation of regulatory mandates, worker compensation issues, increased
employee litigation, and violence in the workplace have redefined the role of
the facility manager beyond "gatekeeper" to that of full-scale operations
manager.
Today's corporations, organizations, and business partnerships invest heavily in
their physical plants. It naturally follows that they expect to maximize the
return on their investment.
Facility managers are seen as the catalysts for ensuring that optimal return.
The Facility Manager's Handbook address all of these issues, and provides a
multitude of tested ideas, procedures and examples for successfully and
cost-effectively managing facility operations.
Written in a plain-language, reader-friendly style, it provides a panoramic view
of the process by isolating the key areas the facility manager must address,
including real estate, space and change management, indoor air quality,
emergency preparedness and response planning, communications systems, regulatory
mandates and more.
A wealth of illustrations, tables and graphs are included to facilitate a clear
understanding. |
