queendiana — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 14:31:58 GMT

Facility maintenance is not quite a new concept as we have been following optimum usage of resource since humankind evolved. But the novel concepts of facility maintenance management have made it more simple and effective to maintain and manage these significant assets of an organization.

Let us see some of the significance of using a facility maintenance management system.

LED and other sources comparison

Larry Leetzow — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:25:07 GMT

Congratulations to Georgia Medical Center who recently completed lighting retrofit upgrades.

Was there a committee group or a single decision maker who decided the nearly 16 year payback was an acceptable time period for the LED retrofit? A cost of nearly $1,600/unit, which may have included labor to install, seems to be a lot of money for a luminaire.

For those who are looking to upgrade exterior lighting systems, there are more economically viable solutions available that will provide equal or better light quality with faster paybacks (ROI), and cost less to maintain than LED systems. LED systems have many places for superior results, but for exterior applications today, there are product solutions that provide better results for less money.

All about stair treads

Paulson Jacob — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 11:51:00 GMT

Do you find stairs with some worst situation in terms of wear and tear? Are you just fed around the noise it makes while you or your kids move about these stairs? You could be keen to find some easy solutions for these issues. Stair treads. Many people assume stair treads are added simply to spruce up a staircase. With many hidden benefits, stair treads can solve myriad of your most aggravating problems and put your mind at ease.

Benefits of Stair Treads

Staircases are pricey and many people are worried that the continuous running up and down the stairs will wear down the staircase. This is a legitimate concern, and one that does happen over time. Attaching stair treads will ease your worries as it protects the staircase from any damage caused from natural wear and tear.

They are also sound absorbent. Therefore, when your child runs up and down the stairs, it won't sound like a herd of elephants are in your house clamoring for the door. Instead of waking you up or interrupting you from your book you will be able to sleep soundly and enjoy the quiet.

You may be worried that your staircases are slippery causing your children or yourself to trip and fall, seriously injuring them. However, with stair treads you can give extra edge to the stairs, which means even if your kids fall down, they may not get any serious injuries and secondly it just reduces the slipping thing of the stairs, which makes falling down a seldom affair.

Installation Guidelines:

Natural House Rugs is recognized to cater you carpet stair treads in a wide range of colors and sizes, which help in making your stairs, look cool and attractive. Though you could see the professionals coming to install them, yet it could be carries out in a DIY basis without wasting much time and money.

Each and every stair tread could be seen with four dissimilar attachable strips; two looped fiber strip while the two hooked fiber strips. The "hooked fiber" strips should already be attached to the stair tread. Attach both of the "looped fiber" strips to the stair in the desired spot. You need to remove the adhesive over the back of the hooked fiber strips and thus end up connecting the same with the looped fiber strips. Press firmly down until attached.

The fine thing approximately installation even though you install these treads in a wrong way; you have the choice of doing it again. This will make it easy for clean-up purposes or, if you move and want to take the stair treads with you.

What are Facility Costs?

Wayne Wahington — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:15:56 GMT

What are your largest operational expenses?

Let’s face it, the cost associated with employees, payroll, and benefits are the largest operational cost for most businesses. The nature of the business environment today forces all business owners to do more with less and incur no reduction in the level of facility productivity while still pushing to increase the bottom line. If you are the typical business person, you measure your employees’ performance to assure yourself you are obtaining value for that investment and then take the necessary corrective actions when results fall outside pre-established norms.

But what about measuring your building’s performance and productivity? Do you know that by managing your facility costs, you will have a direct positive impact on your overall operational costs? Yes – because facility costs are the second highest operational costs in of all of a company’s operational expenses.

Does the physical environment of the office impact employee productivity?

It is often troubling to hear employees complain about things like the office is too cold or too hot, or complain about the lighting levels, and other physical office features, including the cleanliness of a building. No matter what the nature of employees’ complaints is, you have to understand that the physical office environment has a large impact on employee productivity. Whenever employees complain to each other about facility issues, productivity levels are directly impacted negatively. Therefore, the physical office environment and facility costs are inter-linked.

Businesses are increasingly becoming aware of the negative financial impact to the bottom line of an underperforming building. However, there is an increasing need for most businesses to better understand what is included in facility costs. Additionally, the business community is learning that managing facility costs is a relatively painless way to improve a company’s bottom line without just implementing an arbitrary budget reduction as a means to “do something”.

What is included in facility costs?

Here’s a list which makes up the typical facility costs for most facilities. If you don’t have all of these costs in your facility, consider it as one less headache that has to be managed and accounted for:

Facility Costs for the Typical Business Entity

Facility Maintenance Utility Costs

Facility Cleaning Voice & Data Communications

Grounds Care Graphic Services

Facility Security Mailroom

Facility Management Food Services

Facility Procurement

• Supplies

• Materials

• Services Facility Overhead Items

• Insurance

• Taxes

• Depreciation

When one combines these facility services areas together and totals the costs, one can see how facility costs are the second highest operational expense a business will have.

Are you measuring your facility costs?

But the fundamental question I need you to ask yourself is: “Are you Measuring Your Facility Costs”? If your answer is anything but yes, you have costs that our out of control. Why? If you’re not measuring your facility costs, how can you manage them? Let’s consider a few real life examples so we are all on the same page. Have you ever been on a diet and never weighed yourself? Without the feedback of seeing the measurement from the scale, how would you know if your diet program was working or not.

Have you watched a football game without an announcer talking about the average “yards per carry” or number of “number of yards after a catch”? Players’ salaries are based on the aggregate sum of these very measures. Without these facts, one would only have opinions and how far would professional football player salary negotiations proceed based solely on opinions?

The same logic applies to facilities. Most companies receive the bill for the various facility related items, pay the bill and never look for ways to better manage those items. Most companies do not compare these costs to last month’s cost, let alone the same month the previous year to look for trends. Cost savings opportunities are lost without this type of review. Businesses need to stop regarding facility costs as “necessary evils” and begin to measure facility costs and hence begin to manage facility costs.

Increase you bottom line by controlling facility costs.

Managing facility costs are critical if you want to improve your bottom line. For each dollar reduction in your facility costs is a dollar increase in your bottom line. Do you still want to continue to operate your business with your second largest operation cost not being managed? If your answer is yes, good luck. If it is no, then start measuring your facility costs. First establish a facility costs baseline and over time begin to look at trends as measured against the facility costs baseline established from that point forward.

It’s time to run your facilities as a business. You conduct performance reviews to measure your employees. You have financial statements to manage your cash. What do you have in place to measure and manage your facilities?

Hurricane Preparedness: Prepare Your Business in the Event of a Hurricane

Nate Kristy — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:28:36 GMT

When your area is issued a hurricane watch or warning, as a business leader, you often only have a very small amount of time in which to act quickly to protect your employees and your business. Because you do not have long to evacuate your personnel or to protect your company, having and executing a hurricane preparedness plan is imperative to safely recovering from this type of crisis. However, there are numerous aspects to keep in mind when creating, implementing and executing an emergency notification plan in the event of a hurricane - all of which must be considered in order to improve safety levels and communication.

Emergency Notification Plan: When to Act - Watches and Warnings

A hurricane watch is issued 48 hours ahead of the anticipated onset of tropical storm force winds to alert the affected areas to begin following their emergency procedures. A watch is typically issued when the conditions are favorable for a hurricane; therefore, you will want to move quickly to execute your hurricane preparedness plan, as the winds will begin to gather strength within 48 hours, and it will be harder to perform activities (e.g. covering windows, reinforcing structures) if the environment becomes hazardous.

A hurricane warning is issued 36 hours ahead of the expected onset of tropical storm force winds. Unlike a watch, a warning is issued because a hurricane has already been spotted and will affect the relevant areas. During this time, extreme caution must be taken, and it is imperative to act immediately, whether this means evacuating personnel, initiating emergency notifications, or following your hurricane preparedness plan. Even if you are only in the surrounding areas of the storm, you should still be prepared to execute your emergency notification plan, as you may face strong winds, potential flooding (which can occur ahead of or during the storm) and isolated tornadoes.

Why Do I Need a Hurricane Preparedness Plan?

As a business leader, you have a responsibility to protect your employees and your company from disaster. Your employees look to you for direction and need to know how to act in a crisis; having an extensive emergency notification plan in place will help employees learn who to contact, where to go and what to do in the event of a disaster.

Additionally, hurricane preparedness plans will help you plan for contingencies that you otherwise may not be able to cope with, including helping employees evacuate the area safely, even in the event of flooding of roads or of the building itself; loss of utilities and water for protracted periods of time; loss of communication in the event that cell phone towers go down due to strong winds; and loss of transportation routes. Your business will also be impacted by this disaster, including loss of inventory; loss of customers, as they may have migrated away from your company for extended periods of time during the crisis; loss of communication with suppliers, as they may not be able to get through due to flooding or they may be suffering damages of their own; loss of data; loss of equipment; a damaged facility and more.

The financial damages caused by hurricanes can be extensive. In 2011, the estimated cost of damages caused by Hurricane Irene was $7 billion to $10 billion. Unfortunately, insurance covered approximately less than 40 percent of the losses due to extensive flooding, as flood insurance is not generally covered under regular insurance plans.

Without a strong hurricane preparedness plan in place, in the worst case scenarios, your business could suffer irreparably and/or your employees could suffer serious injuries or death. As a business leader, you are responsible for creating an emergency notification plan to give your business a structure to follow in the event of a crisis.

Creating an Emergency Preparedness Plan for Your Business

Your hurricane preparedness plan should be created based on the size of your company - if you have a large company, then you have the human resources already in place (e.g. facilities management or otherwise) to handle the task of creating this plan; however, if you have a smaller company, then you need to designate the appropriate personnel for your crisis team to begin crafting your plans.

Your business requires a clear, concise, written emergency notification plan that employees can follow in the event of a hurricane - preferably before hurricane season begins. Remember to include all contingencies that must be accounted for, such as unexpected loss of communication, flooding, or data loss. If you are a large company with small subsidiaries in other areas, create a local hurricane preparedness plan for that specific subsidiary, as each business will need to be treated uniquely. For instance, a smaller division of your company may be located in a coastal town, and they will need to act more quickly to evacuate the town due to a high risk of flooding.

Practice Your Emergency Plans

You may have extensive hurricane preparedness plans in place; however, they mean nothing without practice. Create your emergency notification plan and then practice it - not once, but several times, so that it becomes second nature for employees to learn how to respond and use a notification system, and it becomes easier to evacuate the building or to take the steps necessary to secure data. In the event of a hurricane, you may have several days of warning before the disaster strikes, so it's up to you, as a business leader, to take immediate action.

Testing your hurricane preparedness plans can be challenging logistically, but there are many ways to practice your strategies. You can perform a tabletop drill (there are companies, including Preparis, that provide strategic crisis management drills) of your emergency notification plan with your crisis team, which will allow members to perform virtual exercises of decisions you may have to make during a hurricane. This will allow you to see if your plans and protocols need improvement, and will enable you to practice the procedures that are imperative to company safety.

Additionally, it is very important to have access to your hurricane preparedness plans at any time. Many companies create these plans and leave them in binders at the office, which are ultimately useless during the event of an evacuation or when personnel are located elsewhere. Try to put your emergency notification plan online or anywhere that can be accessed through a document management system, or, more importantly, a mobile device, as you may have to evacuate from home and you'll need to follow the steps of the plan without a computer nearby. Being able to access your hurricane contingency plans, data and emergency contact lists is very important.

Employee Notification Systems

Every business should have an emergency notification system with which to alert employees in the event of a disaster, through multiple channels if necessary, such as email, voice, text and more. You should always test this emergency notification system at least twice a year, with every branch of your office. It's also important to ensure that employees can not only receive notifications, but that they can respond to them, because when a hurricane is spotted, employers do not have time to deal with a malfunctioning, overly-complicated messaging system.

Act Quickly - Before Hurricane Season

Now is the time to create hurricane preparedness plans to prepare for financial and physical losses, flooding, damages due to wind and more. In addition to an emergency notification plan, it is also important to implement a recovery plan, because it will take time to recover from losses due to damaged/lost inventory, employees or consumers who have migrated to safer places and who may not be able to return quickly, or suppliers who are unable to fill your requests. However, market studies have shown that in the second year after a hurricane occurs, you may be able to sell more of your commodity, as consumers who are rebuilding or replacing stock are now able to do so; therefore, this type of disaster may sometimes increase sales. No matter what happens, you should have a recovery plan for your business, as you will need to make plans for potential repairs, utilities, data loss or labor supply. With this plan in place, you will begin to see an increase in your markets over time and you will begin to recover.

Act quickly and create a hurricane preparedness plan for your business before a disaster occurs - you cannot prevent a hurricane, but you can ensure that your employees and your business are as safe as possible in the event of a crisis.

Permanent Moisture Protection

kaertmer — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:04:35 GMT

I recently found a new product called Drycrete Moisture Stop for permanent moisture protection. It integrally waterproofs concrete, eliminating internal moisture mitigation. It increases concrete's density, increases and reinforces concretes's compression and flexural strengths while diminishing permeability by greater than 97%. It can effectively be used to enhance any Portland cement concrete installation. It is used extensively in reducing moisture emissions in newly poured concrete floors to promote adhesiive applications and traditional floor material installations.
