| Building an integrated facilities knowledge management / LEAN environment is far from complex. The process does, however, requires owner leadership, commitment, and competency. As the planning and day to day operational aspects are sharply different from traditional methods, the ability to effect organizational change is also a key requirement. |
| Life-cycle total-cost-of-ownership asset management and LEAN planning, procurement, and project delivery methods integrate People, Process, Information, and Technology. Significant benefits to all participants and stakeholders are provided throughout all facilities management phases. These include; 1.) the consistent deliver of quality projects, on-time, on-budget and to the satisfaction of all participants and stakeholders, 2.) full regulatory compliance, and 3.) financial visibility and transparency at granular and macro levels. The consistent achievement of these benefits is virtually impossible with traditional approaches and methods. |
| Planning, Design, Procurement, Construction, Operations, and Maintenance are all addressed within a collaborative environment with all team members involved in an early and ongoing basis. Process is embedded within technology to enable lower cost and consistent deployment, real-time access to current and actionable information, as well as continuous monitoring. Technology, however, is secondary to process, and not the driver. A common data environment, inclusive of locally researched detailed unit cost cost is a requisite element. (Note: Locally researching labor, material, and equipment costs, as well as productivity rates is different than researching planning or completed construction costs. The latter are incapable of enabling owner of service provides from jointly and efficiently planning and costing upcoming requirement in a efficient manner.) |
