Like other fields, facilities management has its own language. Some terms are widely known, while others are not. And even terms used widely in the profession may be unclear to those in other professions.
FMpedia is a socially based database created by facility managers and other experts to develop a resource for facility managers? Like Wikipedia, it’s an online community for users to collaborate in building the resource: FMpedia. Registration is open, but contributions need to be productive and in line with the goals of the database. FMpedia is sponsored by the IFMA Foundation.
What’s even more interesting is the IFMA Foundation’s library of PM Routines:
“You can find hundreds of operating procedures and PM routines in the PM Routines Library to the left. Default sort is by unicode format. You can also filter the list specific to a group you are interested in.”
The IFMA Foundation’s Best Practices Library of PM Routines is a great example of the contribution that the IFMA Foundation is making to the profession of facilities management.
