Evolution of Computer-Aided Facility Management.

McLean, William D.

Facilities Manager, v14 n2 p51-54 Mar-Apr 1998

Presents the benefits facilities managers could realize by converting blueprints, CADD information, and as-built drawings into a computer-aided facility management (CAFM) system. CAFM links graphics to databases, adding information on types of spaces, occupants, materials, equipment, costs, and other building systems. This helps facilities managers perform ever-increasing responsibilities. (RE)
