An integrated resource management view of facilities management
“Facilities management” (FM) has been described as a hybrid management discipline that combines people, property and process management expertise to provide vital services in support of the organisation. Attempts by academics and practitioners to define the scope and content of FM inevitably incurred the displeasure of some quarters of this emerging FM industry that has shown signs of rapid growth in North America, Europe, and Australia and New Zealand, and the Far East in the last two decades. This paper represents a personal view based on a study that covered a multi-sector survey of five industrial and commercial sectors in the UK in 1996. The focus of the research is to provide a business perspective to the role of operational facilities. One of the objectives of the research is to explain the need for strategic business planning to incorporate and, indeed, integrate the facilities dimensions of business delivery. Whilst conceptual in its presentation, there is increasing evidence that the views and models contained within this paper are worthy of serious consideration by practitioners in the field
