Good facility maintenance has evolved over the past 30 years and should focus primarily on preventive maintenance. As your preventive maintenance programs evolve you should see a decrease in reactive maintenance. Proactive, preventive (PMs), planning (maintenance planners), systematic (CMMS programs), save over long term and increase life cycles have all migrated to the maintenance side of your chart. The facility manager not only oversees maintenance but also has tons of other responsibilities like facility budgeting, energy, procurements and the list goes on. I know I have over simplified the differences and there are tons variables based on organizational structure alone.

FM can be defined as so much more than maintenance,. FM can and should be proactive in looking for ways to staff, save, and service. Keeping up the the best tech ideas, security, "green uses" and more. Also FM staff can look for ways to better set-up, design, and multi-use of its "plant" rather than simply caring out orders or manual instructions. In most church settings these fuctions are a last minute "Hick-Up' and it not though out well or processed INTO Ministry systems. In short FM is working "ON" verses simply "IN" a process. Therefore becoming a vital part of any ministry process and it total outcome~! I think there is indeed a difference. FM can be defined as so much more than maintenance,.

I have been working with a new group of people called facility managers on energy savings for HVAC the last couple years. We convert friction based V belts to Positive Polychain belts and drop amps 12%. The conversion pays off in 8 months and requires zero maintenance for 3 years. This has been a great win for the manager via cost savings, the maintenance team via time savings and the savings goes right to the bottom line. Your comparison is right on and getting both managers on the same page is powerful even if they do have different motives. Feel free to contact me for more information on this low cost ($25/1000 sq ft) high payback ($40/1000 sq ft)conversion.

The facility director should be the team leader but have the knowledge to manage if needed. If you have the blessing to have a good team, (2 or 10+) leadership is more important that management in the long run.
