Enhancing Building Performance Through More Responsive Maintenance System
Previous studies have applied different techniques and concepts to planning, designing and
executing construction projects. However, few studies have been conducted in maintaining
such projects. Maintaining and operating any constructed facility costs more than its initial
cost. The aim of this study is to improve maintenance processes by simulating the concept of
multi-skilled technician to an existing maintenance process. Statistical data and maintenance
process map of Saudi Consolidated Electric Company (SCECO) are modeled in
Extend+BPR® to be an experimental tool for evaluating the benefits of multi-skilled
technicians. The simulation models of this study showed significant improvement in both
preventive and corrective maintenance processes
