Facility maintenance is one of the most important things that a business owner can focus on. But sadly, a lot of commercial property managers don’t make that a priority. Below are common management mistakes that are made in business.
- Not Scheduling Equipment Maintenance – As time goes by, the costs will increase for repairs, energy and labor as equipment breaks down unexpectedly. When the equipment isn’t working, it means that your staff is idle and not getting any work done. Regular maintenance will find problems and can help avoid breakdowns.
- Investing in Cleanliness and Repairs – This will result in delays and poor planning as the parts will need to be purchased when something wears out or breaks. This can reduce productivity and can result in loss of revenue. This is especially true if you are a restaurant and your one and only oven breaks down.
- Responding to Emergencies – This is called firefighting. The owner and managers are only reacting when something breaks down and don’t perform any type or routine maintenance. Rather than preventing disrepair and damage, they are just going around putting out fires anytime something breaks. That’s why routine maintenance is so important, as we mentioned above.
