Facilities Management
Are you wasting hours making trips between facilities to find widgets? Is your crew spending more time in traffic than on work orders? Public works and utilities are often forced to “make do” with outdated, undersized, inefficiently-located facilities that hinder their efforts to deliver critical services to their customers. Adaptive and resourceful field crews operate, maintain, and install life-saving infrastructure in spite of significant inefficiencies caused by their facilities. A facility-driven transportation analysis that captures the cost of wasted crew hours, fuel costs, CO2 emissions, traffic congestion, and vehicle wear-and-tear is a critical aspect of a long-term facilities plan. When paired with a thorough business case analysis (BCA), the results can provide decision makers with the defensible data required to implement change. Join us to learn how these tools should guide the creation of a long-term facilities plan that benefits public works and utilities field operations.
