Thursday & Friday, July 12 & 13, 2018
My Office - 6060 Nancy Ridge, San Diego

In today's global business climate, facilities are a significant part of any business operation. Operations and maintenance functions comprise the majority of the operations that have to be managed on a day-to-day basis and are the source of 95 to 97 percent of the problems that can occur. Consider this: 95 to 97 percent represents 95 to 97 out of 100 opportunities to look bad or to look good. By providing Best Practices O&M service, you can increase customer satisfaction and enhance the value of the facility and the facility department.Facility managers manage/oversee high-value assets that represent significant financial investment in technology, buildings, structures, interiors, exteriors and grounds. Since facility managers are typically responsible for the oversight, operation and maintenance of the buildings and grounds, as well as oversight of various service contracts, understanding the basics of finance and business is critical.
