Know where you're spending your time

Another critical facet of the building maintenance industry is developing strategies to maximize your efforts and your time. Identifying correlations, annual items, one offs, timing and having the ability to categorize as many tasks as possible will ultimately result in a better use of time, manpower along with all resources involved. I know that there is nothing more impressive than having the ability to show your peers who, what where and why you ended up doing what you did and having the ability to back it up with imperical data. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words so you may as well paint the best pictures possible. It is not merely a CYA approach, but taking full advantage of the raw data you have collected over your tenure

This will help with:

  • A PM schedule
  • Making sure you hire the right people
  • Assigning the right tasks to the right individuals
  • Knowing your busy & slow periods so that you can perhaps plan additional work for those time periods
  • Inventory control/management
  • Predictive Maintenance
  • Identifying any system issues
  • General budgeting 
  • Identifying weak points in your system,
Here are some examples of creating charts, graphs etc. I am happy to help anyone with anything they see on theses posts so please feel free to contact me for any additional information or if you would like a more detailed breakdown etc..
