The Systems Approach to management is very relevant in a Commercial Property and Asset Management setting, as it is dependent on many variables, both internal and external. One (of the many) aspects of this industry is the management of service providers and vendors in relation to exterior cleaning services and property maintenance.
In terms of variables, the property manager has to work to maximize occupancy rates, which will in turn help to increase their Common Area Maintenance (CAM) budget. This important variable allows the delivery of a comprehensive maintenance program, with some valuable property and tenant benefits:
- Reduced property exterior maintenance issues.
- Clean property more attractive to prospective tenants.
- Well maintained property may attract more traffic.
- Combination of maintenance and higher traffic may be more likely to attract big-box retailers.
- Combination of high quality tenants and high traffic can help push rental income higher.
- Higher return for property investors and owners.
- Property is clean and safe for customers, tenants and property users.
The Systems Approach
*** INPUT ----- CONVERSION ----- OUTPUT ***
With a budget in place (input), a program of maintenance has to be designed to use this funding in the most effective way possible (conversion process), and finally this program is executed on property (output).
Essentially, there has to be an element of control on the part of the Property Manager. This control allows a review of success, failure and adherence to the scope of work, which in turn ensures that work is completed in an effective and timely manner.
