Our FM team consist of myself and my colleague did a pre-training this morning for the end user on how to use the Overlay for Design Management under the Space Management module. It is quite a risk since we haven’t secure any written agreement or contract and we are not getting any commercial benefit. However, the experience and the end user satisfaction is our goal at the moment so we went ahead and taught on how to develop a polyline and link the drawings to the layer asset in the AutoCAD application.
So far, the feedback we received from the end user is very good. We are looking forward to work together hand in hand with them later. Until then, we will continue to learn, practice and seek for more knowledge over this very interesting Facilities Management tool.

We are currently engaging on a prototype to document 4 buildings under the 3 modules that were being proposed. Because of there were a lot of commercial decision delays, things are a bit slower these days. Last week vendors meeting were somehow a bit vague on the direction but at least things are getting ahead. There was a sudden change in the organization’s policy which was missed out during the technical negotiation.
So, now Web Central is going to be installed as the policy stated that the system must be in a web-based form. SIMEK Team has loads of work to work out. One of them is to work hand-on-hand with the drawing departments. This is to ensure the smooth process of the prototype which will be presented during the next FMS meeting. Individually, I’m creating a few documents that will help on creating more value to the Facilities Management project that is under progress.

2006 embarks a whole new experience for SIMEK Facility Management team with an additional team member who had gone for an advanced training at ARCHIBUS headquarters in Boston, USA. We hope that with his help, our team could proceed with the implementation smoothly.
Yesterday, the long awaited bi-monthly meeting was held at the usual place. We were surprised by the end-user announcement of their department change of name. Before, they were just a maintenance department, today they are called ‘Facility Management Department’. It is part of their rebranding their image and also as a complement to the Facility Management System that is going to be installed throughout their organization. It is learned that they have been waiting for the system to commence for the past 7 years.
They were a lot of issues that were brought up during the meeting including how the Building Automation System (BAS) could be integrated with the FMS System. Also the zoning and coding was suggested to be revised. They are still a lot more to be discuss and this is just the tip of the whole initial stage scheduled. For now we have to do a lot of workshop, studying and re-assessing all the information that we have acquired.
