Assessment of Facility Management Functions for Life-Cycle Information Sharing

Modeling Deep Neural Networks to Learn Maintenance and Repair Costs of Educational Facilities

“…Lavy et al (2014) identified functions, users, and financial factors to evaluate the performance of facility operations and maintenance [13]. Other studies were also focused mainly on evaluating the potential risks within certain facilities and their impacts on maintenance costs associated with a limited number of factors, such as safety, accidents, and fires [1,6,[14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…In addition, to estimate the facility maintenance and repair costs associated with these various potential risk factors, data on the potential costs during the whole life cycle of the facility and the proper tools that are capable of quantitatively analyzing such costs are required. However, to the best knowledge of the research team, existing facility operation management research is far from empirical, as most of the calculations of each potential risk factor are conducted based on literature surveys, questionnaires, and experts' advice [1,18,19]. In turn, very little is still known about analytical modeling frameworks that are underpinned by multiple factors affecting facility maintenance and repair costs.…”

“…Facility maintenance and repair management aim to appropriately operate and maintain the function of a building by responding to the requirements of the users, correcting design and construction errors in the facility, and proactively preventing the aging of the building from ineffective operation and maintenance management [1]. More effective and efficient facility maintenance and repair management strategies have been underlined because the function and size of buildings have become more advanced and larger with their longer lifespans.…”

“…More effective and efficient facility maintenance and repair management strategies have been underlined because the function and size of buildings have become more advanced and larger with their longer lifespans. In detail, the maintenance and repair phase accounts for about 85% of the life cycle cost of a facility asset, representing the biggest economic impact throughout its whole life cycle [1]. Nevertheless, it is difficult to maintain and improve upon the initial performance of a facility.…”

Natural Hazard Influence Model of Maintenance and Repair Cost for Sustainable Accommodation Facilities

“…Its techniques, which include lifecycle-cost estimation, address safety and durability, as well as economic considerations [14]. Lee and Jung's [15] comparison of facility-management practices in the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Korea suggests that, although all four countries focused on the operation and management stage, which occupies, on average, 85% of the building lifecycle [13], only Australia emphasized a lifecycle-cost approach to managing costs. Specifically, Lee and Jung [15] conducted a high-volume review of the existing literature on applied facility management and categorized this discipline's functions into 19 types, covering property, service, space, communication, energy, environment, equipment, moves, quality, security, costs, documents, human resources, materials, outsourcing, regulations, schedules, technology, and general management.…”
