Situation
Thiess Services bid and won the 25-year Facilities Management contract for Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH). The solution is provided as a service, using (an existing) Maximo deployment as a key component for the management of the RNSH assets. Financial penalties apply if stringent SLAs are not met.
E.g. An occupied lift has failed = acknowledge < 5min, resolved < 2hr

Current processes rely on help-desk staff being notified of a issue and raising a service request against the appropriate asset.
SLA clocks starts ticking from the moment Thiess are notified

Multiple (three) Building Management Systems (BMS) are already in place


Each with unique administration requirements Each with different notification methods

Strategy is to use the service to manage future projects, new and existing

Benefits
In short, financial penalties will be avoided / reduced.
With an automated solution, Thiess Services will reduce reliance on human being involved in the reporting processes, resulting in a reduction in error (e.g. incorrectly assigned assets) and increasing both time to notification and time to resolution. Predictive failure, ensuring assets are taken offline before an issue occurs that result in a penalty For example, the penalty of an occupied lift unacknowledged is $5000 / 15 min this will not apply if the occurrence is automated

Knowledge of asset performance


Allows for the proposal of better performing assets for new projects Allows for improved prediction on likely asset replacement timeframes for exiting assets before bidding

Ability to be more competitive in bid proposal


SLAs are known and met details in bid response Solution cost is known bid price has less risk Asset performance is known knowledge of what they are managing
