Abstract

Initially Facility Management (FM) was understood as a view of the factory more or less after finishing the project on-site, as a pure administration of the “as built” operational data. It is proven that synergies do exist between the initial planning and subsequent functions of Facility Management and cover the entire life cycle of a project including planning, implementation and operation. The possibility of integrating different professional views (e.g., production planners, architects, building services engineers) on the overall central data enables a high level of ongoing active collaboration, assuring a consistent project transparency. The chapter describes the task of FM systems, their structure and fields of application as well as two practical examples.
