FM Operational Readiness
Effective operational readiness in facilities management (FM) is essential for ensuring that FM teams, assets, and systems are fully prepared to support business operations. A structured operational readiness framework enables organisations to minimise risks, optimise service delivery, and maintain compliance with industry regulations.
