| Description | It wasn't long ago that plant operations and facility managers considered an infrequent construction project an enjoyable divergence from the humdrum of their daily routines. But as capital building funds dry up and corporate operating budgets are cut to the quick, our involvement in such activities at once becomes more commonplace and complex. Coupled with the dwindling money supplies, our aging physical plants have forced us to look inward for more creative means of accommodating our organizations' needs for change. Accordingly, we've had to change too. Once only an avocation, project management has transformed us from caretakers to code interpreters, imparting on us the duty to build (or at least cause to be built) the very facilities and structures we are charged with maintaining. This transformation is triggered by a cadre of rationalizations, including: code violations and new regulatory mandates provisioning of amenities for customers and staff expanded markets and program aberrations aesthetic and environmental improvements anticipation of new services and/or improved productivity increased demands on existing resources changes in the way existing space is utilized overloading and obsolescence of systems upgrading to state of the art long range corporate planning Book Name: Project Management: Survival and Success |
