Facility Management.
1. What is In-house FM service? Give an Example
− In-house FM Department is an approach where an organization maintains its dedicated team
and employees to provide facility management services, handling tasks such as maintenance
and cleaning internally. However, when specialized services, like lift and escalator
maintenance, require specific expertise not available in-house, they outsource these services
through simple service contracts. This approach is commonly found in public sectors and
educational organizations, combining in-house capabilities for general services with
outsourcing for specialized tasks when necessary.
Consider a company that maintains an in-house cleaning staff responsible for routine
maintenance tasks, including cleaning air conditioning systems. They handle the day-to-day
upkeep of these systems. However, when a major issue or breakdown occurs with the company's
air conditioning systems, which requires specialized expertise and immediate attention, the
company turns to a Facility Management Company that specializes in HVAC system repairs.
This external service provider possesses the necessary knowledge and equipment to address
complex issues efficiently, ensuring the company's air conditioning systems are restored to
optimal functionality.
