Building maintenance planning and estimating system
Building maintenance work measurement is no substitute for good management, yet without the use of time standards maintenance departments are unlikely to operate efficiently and effectively. Such departments may have skilled craftsmen and up-to-date tools and equipment but operating efficiency may be only 50% of capacity. The cause of this low productivity can often be traced to the lack of a common unit of work measurement for each job which is understood by supervisors and craftsmen when considering costs, performance and goals. This paper describes a set of building maintenance time standards developed and published by the United States Navy, titled Engineered Performance Standards. The time standards are used for comparative planning and estimating in either a manual or computerized mode in public or private sector organizations. The data is readily available to maintenance organizations.
