facilities management  

Definition

  • Facilities management is the practice and art of coordinating the people and work processes of an organization with the physical facilities. This coordination may be as simple as providing core support services to the organization (housekeeping, building maintenance, security services) or as complex as incorporating the provision of physical facilities into the overall strategic planning process.
