“…Hence, maintenance scheduling, which is the timing of any maintenance activity in the calendar year, should be considered along with business objectives. In addition, the duration of the maintenance activity is an integral part of maintenance scheduling [52]. Subsequently, the identified criteria and their definition in this study are presented in Table 2 in alphabetical order.…”

Building maintenance is a fundamental practice in facility management, which supports the longevity of a building. Increasing costs of maintenance practices is a challenge for facility management professionals. Given that, building maintenance decisions often comprise complex and conflicting criteria. The primary purpose of this study is to develop and rank a set of criteria needed for constructing a multi-criteria decision-making model for use in building maintenance processes. This study also has an exploratory aspect and tries to establish the decision-making and condition assessment practices currently used in facility management. To do so, a literature review was conducted to reveal the significant criteria for building maintenance decision-making processes. Moreover, the results of a nationwide survey conducted with the members of two globally recognized facility management organizations were utilized. Identified criteria address a gap in facilities management research, i.e., the lack of comprehensive criteria in building maintenance decision-making, and can be used for the development of a multi-criteria decision-making model for use in building maintenance processes. Furthermore, the results of this study can help establish the current status of decision-making and condition assessment practices in facility management.

“…The framework is life-cycle cost analysis, as discussed by, amongst others, Bogenstätter (2000), the UK Office of Government Commerce (OGC, 2003), and Heralova (2014). As a point of departure, we use two recent papers that attempt to establish a general theoretical framework for maintenance of public purpose buildings (Hopland and Kvamsdal, 2016; Hopland et al ., 2019).…”

PurposeThere is widespread and long-lasting worry related to the condition of public purpose buildings and public investments. Public buildings make up a huge capital stock and proper maintenance and investments are important for public policy. Notwithstanding, the relevant research literature is fragmented and spread across several fields. The authors take stock of earlier and more recent research and suggest some ideas for future research.Design/methodology/approachThe authors summarize the relevant literature and discuss implications of various theoretical assumptions and empirical findings for maintenance and investment strategies.FindingsA better understanding of the role of public facilities in public service provision is important. Relevant topics for further research are the impact of technological changes, both in buildings and service provision, economic issues including macroeconomic shocks and trends that influence public funding and demand for public services, and advancing maintenance scheduling models to consider a portfolio of facilities. Further, the empirical literature suffers from a lack of relevant data to gauge both the condition of public facilities and their impact on public services.Originality/valueThere is widespread worry that poor facilities adversely impact public services, but the size and significance of this impact are an open question. This paper contributes by taking stock of the existing research on public facilities, maintenance, and investments, and suggest ideas for further work.

“…In the literature, there are several works that deal with optimal maintenance planning. For instance, some studies have focused on the schedule of maintenance activities: in bridges, in highway transportation networks [27][28][29][30]; on water distribution systems [31,32]; on power plants [33,34]; on other civil infrastructures [35][36][37]. Concerning the optimal planning of inspection in civil infrastructures, Berardi et al [38] implemented a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) to prioritize inspection works in a large real-life sewer network.…”

Optimization of Inspection Period in Natural Stone Claddings

et al. 2020

In condition-based maintenance plans, the schedule of inspections is an important step. Condition-based actions are performed according to prescribed condition criteria (i.e., condition, cost, availability, among other factors), and the main purpose of inspections is to evaluate the façade’s condition and plan its correction in order to reduce the risk of failure of the cladding. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to implement multi-objective optimization to understand whether there is an optimal time interval for performing the inspections. For that purpose, a Petri-net condition maintenance model is used to assess the influence of different maintenance plans on the overall degradation of natural stone claddings. In this model, the maintenance activities can only be performed after an inspection has been carried out. The definition of the best maintenance policy results in a conflict of objectives. Owners/managers seek to achieve a maintenance strategy that minimizes service life costs and maintain the cladding in a safe and minimal degradation condition. Multi-objective optimization procedures are capable of considering several conflicting objectives. In this paper, the objective functions considered are minimization of the service life costs, maximization of the efficiency index, maximization of the service life, and minimization of the total number of replacements over the time horizon.
