Facilities Management

Facilities management (FM) is a multidisciplinary field focused on managing and maintaining physical assets, infrastructure, and spaces to support an organization's core operations and goals. Key responsibilities include building maintenance, space planning, health and safety compliance, security, environmental sustainability, and vendor management. Effective FM ensures facilities are functional, safe, and efficient, aligning with organizational objectives.
The "P triangle" in FM highlights the importance of People, Processes, and Places. Management principles in FM include strategic alignment, customer focus, continuous improvement, sustainability, risk management, collaboration, technology integration, financial management, talent development, and compliance with legal and ethical standards.
