Results from their studies showed that: (i) the budget for maintenance works is limited; (ii) the scope of and standard work done are not comprehensive; and (iii) lack of awareness among the policy maker and parties involved in building maintenance.…”

The era of 'New Malaysia' has triggered the idea of high-class development in new public services delivery system. Budget and maintenance should be based on a need of the desired level by users or intended to optimize the technological level which can improve the quality of building functions. This manuscript present research analysis the current practice in public building maintenance, including budget allocation in Malaysia, by using Matrix Technique. The purpose of the research is to investigate towards strategies, current procedures and budget issues in public building maintenance in Malaysia. The in-depth investigation of the various policies and manuals in the practice of determining building maintenance budgets has been conducted in this study. From the main areas, the establishment of four key issues related to implementation while extracted and scrutinized, i.e. maintenance policy, procedure, strategy and budget determination. The results show Malaysia has a robust and comprehensive policy and procedure in terms of managing the public building maintenance, including budget estimating. However, they are not implemented in orderly practices, where scope of work unclear, and lot of contradictions appear during conducted the maintenance works. In conclusion, the research findings acknowledged that a new conceptual model for public building maintenance budget determination should be introduced immediately.

“…Efficient building management is crucial, especially regarding the storage of chemical materials and handling because chemical is considered a hazardous substance. Appropriate handling of the chemical will influence the safety of the building, which in this case the storage warehouse for it to remain for a period of time, safe and in satisfactory condition without any damage and problem (Mohd Nawi, Salleh, & Anuar, 2014). Every spillage and leakages area will incur clean-up cost, equipment replacement, and equipment repair (Miller, Stevens, Rath, Tenney, Kinnan & Pepple, 2013) and with an average of 215 cases of spillage a month (Bomba, 2017), the clean-up cost, equipment replacement and repair is a costly affair to be engaged with.…”

This article investigated the comprehensive risk management model practised at SWIFT Integrated Logistics chemical storage operations. The objective is to systematically illustrate the risk factors by identifying risks and mitigating them from the flow of the operation. By reducing or containing the risk factors, we are able to provide a conducive, safe, secure working environment with initiatives toward zero-incident reporting cases. A qualitative research method was applied in this study. Respondents selected for this study were at the managerial level at SWIFT Integrated Logistics with experience working in warehouse operations for more than five years. SWIFT Integrated Logistics management wanted to diversify its warehouse customer's portfolio and accepted new business opportunities in chemicals warehouse storage. The move contributed greatly to the business strategy and finance, but they faced serious risk management issues, which resulted in six (6) incidents and raised the level of anxiety and concern among the warehouse team on health & safety issues. Future studies may look into additional strategies to implement a better warehouse risk management model or plan for a chemical warehouse. This study suggested that regular or continuous training should be provided to the staff. Basic first aid kit training is an example of the mandatory training that should be part of the job standard operating procedure. This paper contributes to the limited existing study on chemical warehouse operations. Experience and measures taken by SWIFT management may provide some ideas to improve the management of chemical warehouse for other warehouse operators. Although chemical warehouse operation safety is important, there is scarce academic research that explores this issue.

“…In response to the challenges of dynamic maintenance operations and the need for improving the quality of maintenance process in complex and high-rise structural building components, clients and contractors could change their method from conventional practices to more enabling technology to increase productivity and a new level of interoperability and collaboration. The conventional modus operandi (paper-based reports/unsystematic database), which is commonly being conducted in a sequential manner using CAFM and CMMS tools replaced to the new business model, which integrates various sources of data and knowledge such as CMMS with the building information modelling (BIM) of the PC building in the maintenance activities (Motamedi et al , 2014; Nawi et al , 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify existing weaknesses in precast concrete building maintenance and how to overcome it. The contemporary practice of conventional methods in the pre-cast concrete (PC) building maintenance entails many issues such as PC component aesthetic and structural defects, no integration between maintenance systems and lack the intelligent capabilities of linking defect diagnosis operations in maintenance due to poor service delivery and defect repetition. A key problem impeding the widespread adoption of emerging technologies is the lack of competent contractor supporting the effectiveness of implemented information and communication technology than conventional methods and the returns on investment. Design/methodology/approach The shortcomings of conventional methods are assessed from the perspective of PC buildings. Several data were collected through a case study of eight PC buildings from high-rise and complex buildings. Findings The conventional methods had significantly little emphasis on defect diagnosis tools. It had also increased the inadequate strategic decision making to analyse information in improving the maintenance project outcomes for PC building. Originality/value Building information modelling tools is suggested from findings and lessons learned as a good practice to reduce the repetition of defects on the design specification used and construction practiced.
