Abstract
The paper investigates the influence of resources that we need for maintaining the buildings. The quality and quantity of the maintenance works ensure the level of services that are provided for building users. The solution is based on the system dynamics methodology. The model has been developed where the main input parameters are available resources – components for the maintenance of the building, workers and financial resources. The main output parameter is number of defects and the balance of the financial resources. This parameter includes the costs of the planned maintenance and costs of the repair works. The case study presents the calculation of main parameters. The outputs demonstrate the importance of well-designed budget and adequate hire rate.
Highlights
The number of defects is strongly influenced by the maintenance that is realized in the building and is related to the building structure and the HVAC systems
It is possible to observe the increase of the active workers by a reason of defects increasing and at the same time available workers decreasing
It can be ensured by hiring 0,2 worker by every month, it means 2 or later 3 workers by year with adequate increasing the budget by 0,45.106 CZK per year. This solution can be used for stable conditions. Another strategy is to change the parameter defect creation that depends on the time and the load
Summary
The number of defects is strongly influenced by the maintenance that is realized in the building and is related to the building structure and the HVAC systems. The capacity of the maintenance depends on the number of workers and their productivity. The human resources management is one of the most important part of the facility management. It includes the allocation of workers for both kinds of maintenance and the decision about hiring new workers in the case of the worker shortage. The important task is balancing the level of the spare parts stock. In case of the deficiency it can cause the decrease of the service level [1]
