Facility Management & Maintenance Service Providers Optimization

Improving the efficiency of facility management scheduling and equipment maintenance optimization activities through intelligent planning and scheduling optimization of tasks and employees.

Facility Services Scheduling & Maintenance Optimization

Whether insourcing or outsourcing facilities management and maintenance work, organizations face more pressure than ever to reduce operating costs in the short term without sacrificing service quality or driving up replacement and restoration costs long term.

The shift to a data-driven approach to decision-making is among the most cost-effective ways to achieve massive efficiency gains while also achieving other corporate objectives – especially when the data is used for preventative and repetitive maintenance planning and maintenance optimization, workforce planning and scheduling and other facility services planning and scheduling.

For example, both planned and reactive service and maintenance plans can be built based on data signals that reflect expected work demand as well as employee and skillset availability. Operational plans and schedules are further improved by incorporating real-time signals from IoT devices and sensors (eg showing that the oven has been used 865 times since the last service or that the outside air temperature over the past week has averaged a high of 91/33 degrees F/C, which could accelerate the need for HVAC service).

DecisionBrain provides powerful, custom-fit decision support software solutions that guide planners in making the best planning and scheduling decisions on strategic, tactical, or operational time horizons.
