Facility Management Department
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.
