“…Few works recognise that computational mechanisms and metrics vary depending on the purpose of each specific study (Sherif and Kolarik, 1981); that many applications are not founded on previous discourse; and that methods adopted have a strong context-specific nature (Korpi and Ala-Risku, 2008). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 Page 8 Reviews of literature (Asiedu and Gu, 1998 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 Page 10 A process can be described as a structure...…”

“…It has been reported that between 70% and 85% of the building maintenance and operation costs can be influenced during the design stage. It is a significant part of the total building life cycle costs and awareness towards planning building maintenance and operation cost has been increased recently [10,30,31].…”

Abstract. Building maintenance is essential in preserving buildings' appearance and performance. It needs to upkeep the building performance to prolong its value and building life cycle. Malaysia is still lacking in managing cost for building operation and maintenance. It has been found that the cost for housing maintenance is high due to poor maintenance practices. In order to get better understanding on how to manage the cost, this study reviews the contributing factors that affecting operation and maintenance cost of stratified buildings in Malaysia. The research first identified the factors through extensive literature review and scrutinize on factors that affecting and can minimize operation and maintenance cost. This literature review offers insight into building maintenance scenario in Malaysia focusing on the issues and challenges. The study also finds that operation and maintenance cost for housing in Malaysia is still in poor state. Interestingly, this paper revealed that operation and maintenance cost is also influenced by three significant factors like expectation of tenants, building characteristics and building defects. Measures to reduce the housing operation and maintenance cost are also highlighted so that this study can be a stepping stone towards proposing efficient and effective facilities management strategies for affordable housing in future.

“…Additionly, and also based on life cycle design, Ishii et al [1994] The product life cycle model proposed by Ishii et al [1994] was further adapted by Asiedu and Gu [1998]. The remanufacture process was introduced and a connection between disposal and the environmental impact was amended (Figure 7).…”

“…LCC was initiated by the US Department of Defence (DoD) in the early 1960s to increase the effectiveness of government procurement [Asiedu and Gu, 1998]. Stimulated by findings that operation and support costs for a typical weapon system accounted for 75% of the total cost, the DoD developed LCC analysis as a framework for specifying the estimated total incremental costs of developing, producing, using, and retiring a particular item [Asiedu and Gu, 1998]. …”
