The Facilities We Manage
Provide a basic description (2 - 4 paragraphs for each facility) of the facility outlining:
- Its history, its characteristics and its future
- Current and future loadings and capacity

Issues Facing The Business
What are the major issues potentially impacting on service delivery?
Example Major issues: - Changing regulatory environment

Present a brief discussion of the key issues with possible solutions and strategies.
Example Issue : As assets move through their effective life, the cost of upcoming asset refurbishment and replacement is requiring increasing attention in the annual budgets.

The work order system will input to a planned maintenance system of inspection, condition assessment, prioritization, scheduling, and recording work done for all assets. |
