Abstract

This research investigates the feasibility of Web technology as a means of delivering facility information for better support facility operation and maintenance. Our research proposes a Web-based feedback system as a pragmatic solution to the limitations of current FM (Facility Management) processes. In practice work orders and records are often misplaced resulting in lower efficiency and customer satisfaction. This may be overcome by a system that states information digitally and provides a Web-based interface. The interface could allow customers to report facility problems, trace their work order in progress, view schedules for maintenance and provide feedback for service online. The benefit for a FM department is that it can receive feedback on performance which would improve the quality of service and build a record of practical experiences.
