Inefficiencies in facility management can cost your team a significant amount of time, energy, and money. On the other hand, improved productivity of your maintenance team only stands to benefit your department and the entire organization. Here are five ways to improve the productivity of your facility’s maintenance team:
A clear list of tasks and an established process for how to proceed makes it easy for team members to stay on task, complete tasks correctly and move forward confidently after each task is finished.
Preventative maintenance is the key to avoiding large problems that take a lot of resources from your team. Having a preventative maintenance program allows your team to monitor and manage maintenance tasks in order to optimize technician schedules and prevent unexpected breakdowns — as well as the costly, time-consuming repairs that come with them.
Facility management software provides your team with a range of functionalities to streamline workflows, automate processes, and keep tasks organized and on time. Facility management software reduces equipment downtime by promoting and organizing preventative maintenance schedules, offering work order management features, and more.
If your team is mobile, moving between buildings and tasks all day, your facility management workflows should be too. A stationary computer used to track, update, and complete tasks is inefficient and ineffective. As an alternative, a mobile platform allows your team the same work order access and functionalities, but wherever they are, right at their fingertips.
A productive maintenance team offers a wide array of benefits to your organization including faster and better work order management, decreased downtime of crucial equipment, and reduced operational costs. In addition, productive teams are more engaged, motivated, and collaborative!
