    Preventative & Deferred Maintenance Reality Check: Fine-Tune Your Equipment Inventory Knowledge

    In this presentation, we shed light on the fact that while buildings are constantly changing, maintenance teams chase a moving target in knowing where equipment is in the field. A challenge associated with preventive maintenance for buildings is locating and taking inventory of all the equipment needing attention, all while buildings are constantly changing due to renovations, construction, labor shortages and retirements. Teams often rely on memory of legacy staff, but when long-time employees retire, facility knowledge goes away too. Full IFMA members can access the video for free, April 1- June 30, 2024.
