Current State Analysis Validated: Asset Inventory

1) Current asset lists exist in various forms but lack consistency and standardization. There is no agreed upon strategy for what asset data to collect or how to prioritize assets. 2) Operations and maintenance plans exist for some assets but definitions are unclear. It is difficult to track work history on assets and identify equipment nearing end of life. 3) Adherence to plans is challenging when reactive maintenance requests occur and parts are unavailable. Some trades want maintenance plans for assets but they do not currently exist.

EAOS Gap Solution Suggestions


1. Need to improve filtration on all HVAC systems
2. Need to improve water treatment on water systems
3. Roles & Responsibilities: consolidate /organize work around single shop/tradesperson responsible for an entire system
4. Scheduling: improve successful schedules as little as possible
5. Scheduling: Schedule only projects/large repairs
6. Review Fleet – zone painters share cars, which is inefficient
7. Review Weber – aggressive use of some vendors, and stock should renew for paints seasonally automatically
8. Perform more elevator & generator work in-house
9. Reduce the amount of money spent on shipping from Andrew Sherett
10. PMs could be done on down time (i.e.: weekends, early morning)
11. Have crews dedicated to PM work
12. Technical training manager as a position
13. Tile setter as a position
14. Shut down whole building to perform PM work
15. Assign SRs to RMS
16. Have an RMS person in the field “field guy” to assist with questions
17. Condenser coil cleaning to reduce energy consumption
18. Crew 27 zones should be smaller
19. Clean vehicles regularly to wash salt off, reduce wear/tear, mold inside
20. Regarding Org Structure Issue “Need to Review Zone Model”, Org re-structure should take into account building
complexity
21. Regarding Org Structure Issue “Need to review Org Structure rationale”, org re-structure process should investigate
different ways of organizing Building Operations, including being organized by asset function or relationship (i.e.: instead
of “Carpentry Shop”, consider “Building Envelope Shop”, which would house people trained in carpentry, roofing, etc. It
should also reflect our strategy for balancing our Demand vs. Resources
22. Regarding Expert Staff “Hiring for workplace culture”, target more mechanically-skilled/knowledgeable, technically-
aligned/inclined staff and place them throughout organization to create better communication between technical
trades/non-technical trades
23. Regarding Software Systems, tie an inventory [list] to the asset, so you know what kinds of parts have been purchased
historically for it
24. Regarding Expert Staff “Need on-going technical training”, consider creating “Just-In-Time” training for refreshers on some
of the smaller repetitive tasks, like using PeopleSoft. Consider using video format
25. Regarding Software Systems, “Some shops are lacking computers, smart devices” – need to make sure smart device
strategy should include a standardization of devices
26. Scheduling: Bring back “The Wheel”
27. Digital screens in buildings to ”push info” to customers on what Building Ops is up to for them
28. Why not implement SME’s to assist with training on technology and technical trades training reinforcement
29. Attracting Expert Staff: Update compensation plans to make sure quality candidates
30. Regarding the lack of a standardization of fixtures/assets: write technical guidelines to narrow choices in manufacturers
down going forward
31. Note history for work completed on assets should contribute to body of institutional knowledge
32. Need to track warranties (suggestion: could be easily dealt with through specifications, rather than guidelines, to commit
contractors to transfer that knowledge)
33. Review communication gaps: keep communication as direct as possible (i.e.: no middlemen)
34. Need to reorganize purchasing roles: Vendor Support is lacking. Suggestion for purchasing processes: take purchasing off
the plates of the heads. They would put the request in but have someone else manage price optimization, managing
payment, shipping, etc.
35. Better Communication between Properties Trust, etc: use FMs as communicators to prevent customers from interfering
with trades
36. Look at “Composite Crew” Structures as a means to optimize resources
37. Need to review rationale behind current org structure: (i.e.: Construction Office, FMs, Stores/Garage, etc, “Building
Envelope Shop”; Brick layers, roofers in their own shop)
38. Need to have better communication between the trades on what each trade should do with each asset: Standard
Operating Procedures would be good to use for clarity of roles
39. Need to establish an internal knowledge transfer strategy: note history for work completed on assets would contribute to
body of knowledge – related to tracking, software, assets goals
40. Transition into a UBC-Specific environment from a construction environment is a huge barrier – need to look at how to
integrate “fitting in” into the process as early as possible. Consider changing the onboarding/hiring process to
accommodate this
Initiatives out of EAOS scope, but need to be addressed
1. Gap in recycling plastics, pallets and using RMS recycling website
2. Cell phones: how to update contacts
3. Allow shops to bid on work that is
4. Compensation inconsistencies between trades must be looked at
5. Define ways to increase the ReUse It Program
6. Mech Ops/Services (i.e.: 31, 31R) Shop space is too small for the number of crew members in it
7. 1801 & 1802 forms –Union Work Forms: review that process. It’s inefficient and wasteful
