ISO 41001 is synonymous with effective facility management, encompassing the modernization and development of facilities according to global practices to meet the expectations of customers and users.
ISO 41001 is the first international standard that provides a framework for the development, implementation, and maintenance of effective facility management. It is applicable to all organizations or parts of organizations, both in the public and private sectors, regardless of the type, size, or geographical location of the organization. It is intended for organizations that manage their own facilities as well as those that manage facilities for other companies.
Due to its highly detailed requirements in certain sectors, ISO 41001 has found its greatest application in the areas of:
- Procurement
- Maintenance
- Development
- Catering
- Heating and cooling systems
- Energy management and savings
- Occupational health and safety
The ISO 41001 certification provides evidence that a company effectively maintains its facilities using best practices outlined in the ISO 41001 standard. In times of energy crises, it is crucial to manage resources efficiently and achieve savings that the ISO 41001 standard enables through the establishment of a clear capacity and resource management system, contracting, development, and project management.
Today, in a globally competitive environment, organizations are increasingly facing challenges related to managing business costs. Besides labor costs, maintenance costs represent the largest item in the cost structure of most organizations. The introduction of ISO 41001 is aimed at helping organizations implement the highest standards related to facility management to ultimately reduce costs and increase efficiency and productivity.
