Svensson, Kjell. "Integrating facilities management information." Doctoral thesis, KTH, Real Estate and Construction Management, 1998. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-2646.
Full textThe purpose of the study was to develop suitable information structures to sup port main processes of facilities management (FM). The approach chosen to create these structures was to develop a generic FM process model and a building product model. The research method used was a system analytical approach involving the definition of activity models and object-oriented conceptual schemas. The existing national construction classification system (the BSAB System) was an important point of departure in the research work.
The resulting models were evaluated through prototyping. Three different prototypes were developed,: the Klara prototype (a system for plantring, operation and maintenance of building services systems), the Blandaren prototype (an object oriented database system for FM) and the Kronoberg prototype (a GIS like system for facilities management information). All the prototypes used data from real facilities. The prototype systems demonstrated that the product model @S-model) fulfils the requirements of flexibility, stability, adaptability, com prehensibility and cost-effectiveness, which are discussed in this thesis. The ge neric process model, which was mainly tested in one of the prototypes, should provide better conditions for integration by capturing main aspects of the es sence of FM and by providing an overall structure for information handling within FM.
In parallel with the evaluation of the prototype work, a conceptual schema (the Spatial Arrangement Model) was developed. Tbis is based on experiences from the prototypes and done in collaboration with the standardisation work for building construction within the STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data) activity.
The overall result of the research provides basic prerequisites for the develop ment of commercial IT systems for FM as well as an input to international stan dardisation efforts

Stakeholder engagement is a key but often misunderstood performance indicator of project success in controversial projects. Construction projects, power production, medical research, and waste disposal are examples of such large-scale projects. Many of these are critical assets and yet are often at risk of being shut down due to key stakeholder disengagement. It is a tragedy when a successful and needed project is terminated not because of technical, economic, or safety issues but due to a lack of proper stakeholder engagement. At a broad level it is generally understood that stakeholder relationship management is important, but how important and what must be done to ensure appropriate stakeholder engagement remains unclear. My research addresses this chronic problem using a newly developed system dynamics model that better illustrates complex relationships, how they change over time, and what must be done to gather enough support to ensure project success. To firmly root the system dynamics model, interviews were done at an unnamed nuclear power plant (NPP) in the United States. The strengths and weaknesses of the NPP's public outreach efforts were enumerated along with the strengths and weaknesses of the model itself. Ultimately, the model was shown to be plausibly useful to individuals responsible for success in managing stakeholder relationship on controversial projects.

Full textA logo is an important visual communication tool, especially for promotional activity, brand identity, and campaigns. The logo allows identifying the company from hundreds of others in the consumer's eyes. The study compares blood service facilities' logos working in Ukraine with facilities' logos in different world regions. The logos of various blood service facilities were searched on the Internet, particularly on the facilities' official websites and on social networks' official pages. There were found 100 logos from 58 countries: 43 logos found in Europe (12 of them in Ukraine), 13 in Asia, 19 in South and North America, 15 in Africa, 10 in Australia and Oceania. The comparison of logos was based on the analysis of the logos of Ukraine and other countries' blood service facilities. It was used the semiotic analysis method, in which were analyzed verbal and visual signals symbolic messages. The following aspects were investigated: the use of symbolic and font elements in the logo, the colors used and their number, the main messages of identity (message symbols). This study of logos confirms that by assembling such a powerful comparative base of components, colors, and their combinations, symbols, and messages, you can create a good separation from competitors and several times increase the marketing performance of the newly formed organization or existing. Blood service facilities can use this study's results in the organization's rebranding and the organizations' owners to develop the future brand's identity.

Full textFashant, Crystal Saric. "Environmental Performance in Long Term Care Facilities." Thesis, Metropolitan State University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10742619.
Full textThis research examines the physical operations of a health care sector called long term care facilities. Long term care refers to organizations that provide onsite nursing care for people with long-term illnesses, elderly people who need continuous medical supervision, or for those in long-term rehabilitation programs. Most specifically, this research looks at the performance of the physical buildings (i.e. facilities) and how this performance impacts the external environment. Using secondary data from the organization Practice Greenhealth, this study addresses the following two research questions.
1. What is the combined current state of environmental performance at the long term care facilities that have applied for a Practice Greenhealth award?
2. What are the proposed environmental key performance indicators for the long term care sector?
Based on this research, a model is suggested for future researchers interested in the environmental performance of long term care facilities. The model suggests six drivers for improving environmental performance in long term care; (1) maintain compliance with environmental regulations, (2) reduce costs, (3) meet expectations of parent organization, (4) increase market competitiveness, (5) engage stakeholders, and (6) improve patient outcomes. Four environmental improvement categories are then established; (1) waste, (2) energy, (3) water, and (4) engagement initiatives, along with each categories’ associated indicators. Finally, this study develops a concise environmental performance survey that could be used by any long term care facility looking to make improvements to its environmental performance over time.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study project focuses on the relevance of outsourcing in the facilities management industry, and will be conducted in the field of facilities management, for it is closely related to outsourcing and business process outsourcing. The primary aim of this study is to review and summarise some of the more important literature on outsourcing, published in various sources during the past decade. Similar literature related to facilities management will also be studied in order to relate the most generic articles on outsourcing to the field of facilities management. A number of general conclusions will be drawn on the basis of similarities encountered in the various published works. The research is divided into the following sections: • An introduction, explaining the various forms of outsourcing and the relationship between outsourcing and facilities management. • The definition of facilities management. This entails a description of facilities management, typical facilities services and the facilities management company structure. The international facilities management market is also discussed together with facilities management decisions. • The definition of outsourcing, to enable the reader to comprehend this research report. The different types of outsourcing, business processes outsourcing and the shared-services methodology is explained. Drivers of the outsourcing process are identified and supported with comments from top executives. • The strategic impact of outsourcing is outlined, identifying the market value of outsourcing, defining core competencies, establishing core and non-core activities and investigating the formulation and implementation of a successful outsourcing strategy. • Approaches to outsourcing are then investigated. This involves establishing an outsourcing context, selection of service providers, managing an outsourcing relationship, building strategic alliances and the South African legislation impacting on outsourcing, together with advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing. • The Sanlam LTD (Pty) case study captures the outsourcing theory in the South African context, and identifies a local success story with international recognition. In conclusion, emphasis is placed on the fact that outsourcing trends throughout the world is booming through strategic alliances with facilities management companies, with greater emphasis and effort in establishing a successful relationship to sustain and enhance the enormous value-add that outsourcing offers to both parties.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studieprojek fokus op die relevansie van uitkontraktering in die fasiliteitebestuursbedryf en is op die gebied van fasiliteitebestuur gedoen, aangesien dit noue verband hou met uitkontraktering en besigheidsprosesuitkontrakterings-elemente. Die primêre doel van hierdie studieprojek is om sommige van die belangrikste literatuur oor uitkontrak-tering, wat gedurende die afgelope dekade in verskeie bronne gepubliseer is, na te gaan en op te som. Soortgelyke literatuur met betrekking tot fasiliteitebestuur is ook bestudeer ten einde die mees generiese artikels oor uitkontraktering in die gebied van fasiliteitebestuur in verband te bring. 'n Aantal algemene gevolgtrekkings sal gedoen word op grond van ooreenkomste wat in die onderskeie publikasies aangetref is. Die navorsing is in die volgende afdelings opgedeel: • 'n Inleiding wat die onderskeie vorms van uitkontraktering en die verband tussen uitkontraktering en fasiliteitebestuur verduidelik. • Die definisie van fasiliteitebestuur. Dit behels 'n beskrywing van fasiliteitebestuur, tipiese fasiliteitedienste en die fasiliteitebestuur-maatskappystruktuur. Die internasionale fasiliteitebestuursmark word ook bespreek en dit sluit af met fasiliteitebestuursbesluite en maatskappy-ondervinding. • Die definisie van uitkontraktering, om die leser in staat te stel om hierdie studieprojek te begryp. Die verskillende tipes uitkontraktering, besigheidsprosesuitkontrak-tering, en die gedeeldedienstemetodologie word verduidelik. Drywers van die uitkontrakteringsproses word geïdentifiseer en daar word afgesluit met kommentaar deur top uitvoerende amptenare. • Die strategiese impak van uitkontraktering word geskets om die markwaarde van uitkontraktering te identifiseer, kernbevoegdhede te definieer, kern- en nie-kernaktiwiteite vas te stel en die formulering en implementering van 'n suksesvolle uitkontrakteringstrategie te ondersoek. • Benaderings tot uitkontraktering word dan ondersoek. Dit behels die vasstelling van 'n uitkontrakteringskonteks, selektering van diensverskaffers, die bestuur van 'n uitkontrak- teringsverbintenis, die bou van strategiese alliansies, en Suid-Afrikaanse wetgewing wat 'n impak op uitkontraktering het, tesame met die voordele en nadele. • Die Sanlam Bpk. (Edms.)-gevallestudie ondervang die uitkontrakteringsteorie in die Suid- Afrikaanse konteks, en identifiseer 'n plaaslike suksesverhaal met internasionale erkenning. • Ten slotte word nadruk geplaas op die feit dat uitkontrakteringstendense wêreldwyd 'n bloeitydperk beleef as gevolg van strategiese alliansies met fasiliteitebestuursmaatskappye, met groter beklemtoning van en moeite om 'n suksesvolle verbintenis te skep om die enorme toevoeging van waarde, wat uitkontraktering aan beide partye bied, te handhaaf en te versterk.

Full textUtmaningar som kärnkraftverken och transportinfrastrukturer står inför har kartlagts. Kartläggningen pekar på att problemen är relaterade till brister i kunskap. Det är därför nödvändigt att fokusera på kunskap och implementera kunskapsmanagement med däri ingående teorier. Sådana teorier beskrivs i ett historiskt perspektiv. Det framgår att kunskapsmanagement har flera rötter av vilka de viktigaste är informationsteorier och teorier om inlärning. Den första är associerad med namn som Wiener, Ashby, Jaynes, Dretske, Harkevich. Den andra med namn som Vygotsky, Engeström, Carayannis. Även bidrag från moderna tänkare inom kunskapsmanagement som Davenport, Prusak, Drew, Wiig, Zack utvärderas för att förstå hur de involverade organisationerna kontinuerligt kan lära sig, bevara kunskap, nå medvetande gällande kunskap och integrera kunskapsmanagement med företagsstrategier. Vidare så presenteras ett urval av resultat för att illustrera vad som har åstadkommits hittills. Kunskapsmanagement-teorier appliceras på verksamheter som erfarenhetsrapportering, databaser, provning, verifiering av säkerhetsfunktioner och utredning av incidenter. Kunskapsmanagement gör det möjligt att identifiera och beskriva brister i de etablerade verksamheterna och att föreslå förbättringar. Rekommendationen för framtiden är att fortsätta arbetet med implementering och vidareutveckling av kunskapsmanagement för applikationer som är relevanta för kärkraftverk, transportinfrastrukturer och andra säkerhetskritiska anläggningar.
