“…FM professionals can provide cost effective recommendations when selecting supporting infrastructure. The recommendations may include methods in which the architects and engineers can integrate sustainable designs and systems to decrease costs over the project life cycle (Bascoul 2018;Pilanawithana and Sandanayake 2017). Integrating the FM professional provides the added long-term benefit of building in maintainability and sustainability (building in quality)with respects to customer needsmust be considered from concept through design.…”

As the construction industry focuses its effort on adopting lean principles to eliminate waste during project execution, an argument exists to reorient the industry's lean journey to start with the operations phase. The continued absence of Facility Managers in the design process will prolong the inefficiencies of current project delivery methods. The failure to adapt planning processes to include Facility Management (FM) professionals prevent a total lean transformation of the construction industry. A question then arises about what value-adding activities exist in the operations phase to impact lifecycle costs of future projects. Using insights gained from existing literature, this paper assesses the lifecycle value of the FM industry and applies it to the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry to maximize the delivered value. This paper identifies five interactions between FM and Lean Principles that justify the integration of FM professionals into the development phase of a facility's lifecycle. This paper is limited to the scope of FM and design and does not account for external pressures and requirements caused by contractual agreements, fiscal requirements, or regulatory guidance.

“…The solution to this, according to Terreno et al (2019), is to apply the lean concept in the implementation of BIM in FM. Likewise, Bascoul et al (2018) suggested the adoption of lean practice should considering FM requirements early in the design process which allows the project team to understand the complexity of the programs housed by a facility prior to the building commissioning. Umstot et al ’s (2014) study is supported by empirical evidence showing public agencies can greatly benefit from lean principles and practices in ongoing maintenance of capital assets.…”

Purpose Lean has been adopted in various industries (i.e. construction, health care and service) over the years; the level of lean adoption in facility management is relatively unknown. The purpose of this study is to analyze the 14 lean management principles (LMPs) and seek to develop an understanding as to whether LMPs, which are most commonly used by the manufacturing companies, are relevant to the facility personnel’s scope of work. The research scope focuses on international schools located in Singapore. Design/methodology/approach For the purpose of this study, a conceptual framework that focuses on connecting the 14 lean production principles to facility management has been developed. Questionnaire survey and interviews were used. A total of 30 facilities professionals from eight international schools participated in the survey. Six interviews were followed up to gain deeper insights into the extent of lean importance and implementation in the work of facility personnel in a school environment. Findings The survey findings revealed that P8 “use of reliable technology”, P9 and P10 relating to leadership and people development, P12 “go and see for yourself” and P14 “continuous improvement” are generally perceived more important than the other LMPs and are also well implemented. On the contrary, P3 “use the ‘pull’ system” is considered the least important principle. The interview findings also offer insights into modifications of some LMPs for the facilities management (FM) sector. Research limitations/implications There are several limitations affecting this study. First, the research sample size was small. Only 30 respondents participated in this study. Second, as this study is one of the first to explore the applicability of lean in FM, there is no consensus on how to define lean, which means that the LMPs could be interpreted in many ways. Originality/value The adoption of lean in FM can potentially optimize the value of the school organization. It is recommended that more research be conducted, resulting in a more holistic and representative study of the applicability of lean FM.

“…Facility Management was established to operate and manage the building upon delivery by the Design and Construction team, providing value to the client for several years after delivery (Bascoul, Tommelein, Tillmann and Muxen, 2018). Building Information Modeling(BIM) is an important factor in improving decision making for buildings throughout their life cycle to eliminates waste and rework in a collaborative flow.…”

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) stage is the most expensive phase during the life cycle of a building. Currently, much of the information used in there is still paper-based and is delivered to the owner months after the facilities are in use. Therefore, it is necessary to study the interaction between Lean principles and Building Information Modeling(BIM) Functionalities in the building during O&M phase to optimize resources. This paper proposes a BIM-FM workflow and compares it with traditional Facility Management in a Peruvian sports infrastructure. The case study was Aquatic Center for the XVIII Pan-American Games and VI Parapan-American Games Lima 2019. The sport infrastructure was designed and built under an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) environment applying BIM methodology until the construction phase. The main difference found is that proposed BIM-FM workflow improves the efficiencies of the workforce for accessing to accuracy and complete information about Facility's components. Finally, the paper presents barriers in the BIM-FM implementation evidenced in the case study.
