Facilities management

Keeping records of the maintenance status of the assets owned is essential for legal compliance. The records also can provide valuable management decision support guidance. Our particular expertise is in unbiased advice of the different software available and potential support in implementation.

The way in which we might help you:

Provide an apprenticeship for a qualified engineering or business postgraduate student who would champion the introduction of a leading edge control system for maintenance of your assets.

For example he/she would prepare a specification of your needs, identify alternative software vendors and prepare the relevant business case. Implementation would be supported and training provided for staff.

Benefit:

Short term resource to meet a legal obligation.

Cost:

50% of the full cost of employment, plus 50% of the cost of four hours per week supervision by a relevant asset management expert. Balance funded by UK government.
