The Most Important FM KPI That Never Appears on Any Dashboard

  The Most Important FM KPI That Never Appears on Any Dashboard In Facilities Management, we measure almost everything Response time Equipment uptime Energy consumption Maintenance backlog Cost per square feet Vendor SLAs These KPIs are important. They help us track operational performance and efficiency Based on my decades of experience in facility operations, projects and infrastructure management, I can confidently say this: The single biggest factor that determines whether an FM operation succeeds or struggles is rarely measured That factor is COLLABORATION Facilities management sits at the center of an organization’s ecosystem. Every major FM decision touch multiple stakeholder: • Operations • HR • IT • Finance • Security • HSE • Project teams • Landlords • Vendors and service partners When these groups are aligned, projects move smoothly When they are not, even the best technical plan starts to fail I have personally seen projects with perfect engineering design an...

Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries

Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries Preface Contents Preface The oil and gas industry depends on steel and other metals for pipelines, storage tanks, and infrastructure. However, these metals can corrode when exposed to water or soil, which is detrimental to the integrity of pipelines and storage tanks. This engineering book outlines the minimum requirements for anodes (high-silicon iron, graphite, magnetite) used in impressed current CP systems. It details the composition, materials, manufacturing, properties, inspection, and testing of these anodes. Additionally, it provides revised survey requirements to ensure corrosion control systems on buried or submerged structures are well-designed, operated, and maintained. The book also covers techniques, equipment, ...
