Description
Summary:Critical Success Factors (CSF) is used to measure an organization's performance in achieving its mission. In building maintenance, CSF is important as it can identify the cause of failure as well as improving the system. The aim of this paper is to derive a generic concept of CSF in maintenance management to be used by various organizations in Malaysia. This paper reviews the current practices of maintenance management in local authorities in Malaysia. The focus is the management of maintenance including setting up an organization, policies and quality standards. The target group for sampling of data are the local authorities in Selangor. Two stages are involved in the study and this paper presents the first stage of data collection. Based on a literature review and the findings, the critical factors for success are identified. It is believed that CSF can enhance the management process and work planning, which would result in a more economic use of resources and a corresponding reduction in the total cost of maintaining buildings.
