Abstract
Abstract. Facility Management (FM) has becoming a crucial aspect in providing better service to the client/tenant or public as well as to minimize the maintenance cost. Group of buildings bounded by a defined boundary/spatial space such as a college, university, city or even a country have to manage their assets and space systematically with maximum potential/usage and minimum maintenance cost. Incorporating GIS plays innovative and effective role in asset and space FM especially. There are a lot of research and suggestions for it, but implementation is still average and quite new in Malaysia. University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM Bangi) has taken initiative to perform such idea with a full scale implementation. Currently, UKM utilizes GIS in nine modules, where one of the main module called SEPADU, an internal use module system for asset and space information system. This paper describes the implementation of integrated GIS solution in information system. Spatial data acquisition, database development and system for FM will be discussed in this paper.
Highlights
1.1 Background StudyAsset and space are one of the important sections in facility management of any organization
This module was developed to establish a spatial database and Geographical Information System (GIS)-pipe management information system for maintenance and use to minimize the risk of any construction or maintenance works involving underground utilities
As for the conclusion, this paper describes the current implementation of GIS system in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Bangi, especially for spatial data collation, spatial database creation, development on so called one-stop-GIS-portal that hosted the targeted modules
Summary
Asset and space are one of the important sections in facility management of any organization. Managing facilities such as space require a consistence commitment for storing, querying, and updating spatial and information database. Many examples on establishing the system can be retrieved from ESRI product by referring to the published book GIS Best Practice: Facilities Management (2010) Establish system such as San Diego Port Authority using integration of GIS and Information Technology System (IT) and document system help to smooth out the operation of the port that generated revenue of $133.7 million in 2007 (Esri, 2010). This show how much GIS helps improving assets and space management. Most of the required data are not available and need to be collected at sites such as underground utility maps, trees (landscape) and others
