<p>The notion of building maintenance is separated into two elements specifically building maintenance management and building maintenance technology. Building maintenance management should accurately be considered as unfolding how a system of maintenance endeavor might be prearranged to deal with a problem of building maintenance. It distinguishes that, aside from locating and remedying the building deficiency an effective programme to restrain overall cost of maintenance but also in an effort to maximize the gain and benefits of the savings. There are a few factors that influence the decision to accomplish the maintenance work. There are the maintenance needs that is the principal aspire of maintenance is to protect a building in its early stage and some major rationale for maintaining building are retaining its significance and value of investments, maintaining the building in a condition that it persists to accomplish its purpose and presenting a good outer shell. Besides that, the efficient maintenance management system embraces many skills and efforts that include identifying maintenance needs and the accurate and spot on remedies. In general, there have four types of maintenance which are breakdown or corrective maintenance, scheduled maintenance, preventive maintenance and also predictive maintenance. This paper will review and discuss some of the major elements of building maintenance towards achieving sustainable building.</p>

At present, many domestic industries don’t have perfect operation and maintenance management systems for their IT platform. Most of the daily maintenance work is passive response after the problem occurred rather than discovery in advance, which will bring the potential risks to IT system running smoothly. Therefore it is necessary to monitor and manage the existing IT core equipment, to improve the security and stability of the core production and enhance the satisfaction of business department. In addition, through the establishment of an association between centralized monitoring and process management platform, the system standardizes the operational work, and improves work efficiency.Maintenance management system based on Tivoli[1] is mainly to complete the monitoring and management of the IT infrastructure, used in finance, electric power, chemical and other industries, which includes room infrastructure, storage, networks, systems, databases and middleware. On one hand, the system centralizes event management platform integrates events from various aspects of the IT infrastructure, takes a rich deal and then provides intuitive monitoring for operational management. Moreover it integrates process management platform so as to complete creating work orders, processing and other operations. On the other hand, the system will integrate the monitoring results of existing business into the monitoring interface, and implements IT knowledge sharing.

The building maintenance is a crucial part of the life cycle of the building. The maintenance strategies are planned to maintain the condition of the building for specified functions. The maintenance planning requires a comprehensive assessment in determining the effectiveness of building performance, especially in the maintenance budgets planning process. The effective budget preparation will reduce the risk of cost overruns and help the organization to execute the repair works efficiently with sufficient resources. This study attempts to identify the issues related to maintenance cost and proposed the key strategies for improving the sustainable building maintenance budgeting in dealing with the cost overruns. This paper utilizes a qualitative approach through a literature review of secondary data from previous studies. The proposed cost model of maintenance strategies will be used as a basis for further investigation and validation towards promoting the sustainable building maintenance management. The studies identified the push factors that influence the maintenance cost; human factors, tools and equipment, spare parts and materials, funds allocation and available information. Each of the push factors needs to be well-considered to ensure that the maintenance activities can be done efficiently and to avoid the issues of cost overruns.

Purpose The building maintenance management becomes more complicated nowadays, with several sourcing strategies springing up for building maintenance work provisions. Various studies demonstrate that the selection factors and performance measurements are both essential aspects in determining and evaluating the sourcing strategy for building maintenance management. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between the selection factors and performance measurements of sourcing strategy. Design/methodology/approach The paper targeted to evaluate and analyse the perceptions of the building maintenance practitioners regarding the degree of importance of selection factors and performance measurements. Through quantitative approach, the paper adopted stratified random sampling to distribute the questionnaires to the building maintenance practitioners operating in both private and government high-rise office buildings in Kuala Lumpur. Findings The findings highlighted the quality factors as the most important selection group factors; meantime, the ability to fulfil client’s need and requirement as well as the ability to deliver the service with reasonable reliability and predictability are identically important performance measurements. There is a significant relationship between the selection factors and performance measurement of sourcing strategy. Originality/value This paper provides an impetus research which uncovered the sourcing practices in the industry and guided the sourcing process in determining the appropriate sourcing strategy.

PurposeHeritage buildings, as any other buildings are subject to decay and deterioration. This issue increases significantly when a country undergoes complicated circumstances of unrest, as is the case in Iraq. The purpose of this study is to rethink the maintenance approach to heritage buildings in Iraq from a systematic management standpoint. It proposes the development of a management system through the functions of proper planning, organizing, directing and controlling. The study aims to scrutinize the weak areas of performance in the investigated work process in Iraq and provide suggestions to address them.Design/methodology/approachThe paper opted for an exploratory study, using interviews with responsible people in Iraqi heritage buildings administration to investigate the procedures applied on maintenance work for the heritage buildings. Besides, maintenance reports were reviewed and three case studies of buildings recently assigned for maintenance were visited and examined to identify the current course of actions at work and to uncover the points of weakness and strength.FindingsThe researchers identified a kind of unreal planning in the maintenance process, which appeared to be a manifestation of corrective maintenance (CM) rather than a preventive one. Such an aspect was highlighted due to several causes, among which most important were as follow (1) the lack of sufficient allocated budgets and (2) the shortage of hand labor and building technicians in this field, including professionals with an architectural training background, who could make practical choices to heritage maintenance thus preventing improper solutions that would harm the authenticity of the asset. Such factors could be mitigated if a good maintenance management system is to be adopted. A proposed system is hereby suggested, upgrading the current guideline and laws by the specialized authorities in addition to recommending the application of digital documentation.Originality/valueThis paper fulfills an identified need to study how maintenance management system can be applied for heritage buildings

In order to realize the intelligent maintenance management system, this paper presents a development of computerized preventive maintenance management system (CPMMS) to manage and record the maintenance information in the database for the CNC machines. The failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) has been utilized to deal with the computerized preventive maintenance management system in this research. The FMEA is analyzed to determine the risk priority number (RPN) of the CNC machines in order to set the preventive maintenance plan as a standard maintenance. The developed program can generate the next schedule of the preventive maintenance plan automatically, which increases the efficiency and decreases the breakdown. It has been proved that the proposed and developed CPMMS with FMEA program can improve the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The RPN has been reduced due to a decrease in the severity and the occurrence.

The good management of the building maintenance should be based on the regular maintenance work. Repair works are often not carried out or there are shifts in time, which causes degradation of the building. The article presents a method of planning renovation works of a MUBAR (maintenance Management in an Un-renovated Building with Abandoning Renovation) based on the consequences in case of their lack. No renovation work on individual elements in a building can cause a threat to the stability of the building structure, risking the lives of users, continuing damage to the building by damaging further elements, or even a building disaster. The method can also be applied to historic buildings. Often, due to abandonment of repairs caused most often by lack of the owner, improper manager or irresponsible users, degradation of these objects occurs. The consequences of neglected renovation of buildings lead to irreversible processes of their destruction. The aim of the article is to present the developed method of planning renovation works based on the consequences of lack of renovation works.
