    Empowering Facility Management with Defendable Data-Driven Decisions

    Empowering Facility Management with Defendable Data-Driven Decisions

    Markon is excited to share insights on how data-driven decisions can transform facility management at CMAA 2024. With over two decades of experience in the Air Force, a background in software development, and continuous process improvement, I will delve into how leveraging data can effectively optimize facility budgets.

    Transforming Facility Management Practices

    Markon’s methodologies are designed to ensure that every dollar spent is justified and impactful. We'll explore how data can revolutionize facility management practices, providing actionable insights that drive efficiency and effectiveness. By employing a robust process of data gathering, data analysis, and data visualization. We will demonstrate the potential of data-driven strategies to enhance decision-making processes.

    Comprehensive Data Collection and Standardization

    Our approach begins with a detailed Facility Assessment and Inventory, cataloging every major system and asset. Utilizing various systems with distinct purposes, we ensure precise data collection and maintenance. Standardizing data through tools like UNIFORMAT II for asset categorization and RS Means for costing allows for a unified framework for evaluating facility conditions and making budgetary decisions.

    Actionable Metrics and Smart Spending

    At Markon, we are committed to providing actionable metrics through client-directed systems. Calculating the Facility Condition Index (FCI) and Building Condition Index (BCI) in DoD BUILDER offers a comprehensive financial and physical health check for facilities. These indices guide intelligent spending decisions, ensuring maintenance budgets are allocated where they are needed most, and are great examples of how metrics from your data can advise and guide decision-making.

    Visualizing Data for Strategic Decisions

    Effective data presentation to leadership is crucial. Tools like PowerBI and Tableau are used to create dynamic dashboards that not only visualize complex data but also craft compelling narratives to support strategic decision-making.

    Proven Track Record and Commitment

    Markon’s history of successful projects, such as the Construction Management Services for major campuses and compounds, underscores our ability to deliver high-quality results. Our approach consistently enables federal agencies to focus on their core missions by providing reliable and innovative solutions.

    For those interested in learning more about how defendable data can lead to smarter decisions and more effective management strategies, join me at the Exhibitor Theater at CMAA 2024 on Tuesday, October 29 at 9:00 AM. Markon is honored to be a trusted partner to federal agencies, and I look forward to sharing our expertise and engaging with industry leaders at this prestigious event.
