It is a way to measure equipment run-to-failure modes.
| | | | | | | |
It is a philosophy to balance the total expense of predictive and preventive
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|maintenance against the total cost of breakdown. - correct answer -D RCM
| | | | | | | | | | |
|determines the best mix of preventive/predictive maintenance and

| | | | | | | |
responsibilities relative to operations and maintenance?

| | | |
Determine type of occupants | | |
Decide the facility's mission
| | |
Develop the highest possible reliability at lowest overall total cost - correct
| | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
organization by balancing acceptable costs against suitable occupant service by
| | | | | | | | | |
demonstrating lowest total overall cost; the other answers reflect strategic
| | | | | | | | | |
planning by ownership.(Reference: 1-1-2) Chapter 1 Introduction to Operations
| | | | | | | | |
and Maintenance
| |
What best describes the role of incentives relative to operations and
| | | | | | | | | |
maintenance activities?
| |
They only work for the short term because they become expected and thus lose
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
their value as incentives.
| | | |
They may be used with staff but are difficult to monitor with contracted
| | | | | | | | | | | |
services.
|
They may be financial or non-financial to influence a particular behavior or
| | | | | | | | | | |
result.
|
They are specific to financial inducements such as bonuses, prizes and gifts. -
| | | | | | | | | | | |
correct answer -C Incentives represent a broad category of rewards and
| | | | | | | | | | |
recognition. Descriptions that limit or make assumptions beyond the purpose
| | | | | | | | | |
of influencing specific actions cannot be supported against the correct
| | | | | | | | | |
answer.(Reference: 5-4-5) Chapter 5 Select the Best Resources

| | | | | | | |
(TQM) approach?
| |
, TQM is an organizational business model but not useful for measuring
| | | | | | | | | |
operations and maintenance performance.
| | | |
TQM improves efficiency by anticipating and avoiding problems.
| | | | | | |
TQM is usually applied at the end of a service to measure occupant satisfaction.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
TQM is a measurement used for contractors but not for staff - correct answer -
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
B TQM is a well-known quality approach that competent facility managers use
| | | | | | | | | | |
to continuously improve services for the benefit of occupants and the entire
| | | | | | | | | | | |
organization. As such it becomes part of nearly every aspect and stage of O&M
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
activities.(Reference: 4-2-1) Chapter 4 Manage, Oversee, and Monitor

| |
At what point does the work flow process generally begin?
| | | | | | | | |
It is the ongoing activity of checking work accomplished against performance
| | | | | | | | | |
|standards.
It has no place in the maintenance work flow because it describes an
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|emergency procedure. |
It is the activity of greeting maintenance personnel and assigning tasks.
| | | | | | | | | |
It is where work requests are received and collected from the preventive
| | | | | | | | | | |
|maintenance schedule or help desk (work management center). - correct
| | | | | | | | |
|answer -D Competent facility managers may use different terms and have
| | | | | | | | | |
|different methodologies for managing maintenance, however all have some
| | | | | | | |
|method for gathering inputs (work requests) from which to assign work. No
| | | | | | | | | | |
|other choice offers a credible explanation.(Reference: 3-3-4)
