International. Until now, Facility Managers had a difficult way to measure and even more to transmit to the management of the organization the Added Value they provided through their day-to-day activity. Thanks to the research work carried out by the Vafm Research Group of Ifma Spain, Spanish Association of Facility Management, from today this situation changes completely and the FM area and the professionals of the sector have a strategic and practical tool that opens a new path in their professional activity.
The Management of the Research Committee, together with those responsible for the Facility Management Added Value Project (Vafm), have presented at the headquarters of the CEOE this new tool, unique in the market even internationally, which opens the way and changes the methodology of action of the Facility Managers, so that their activity can be recognized.
Almost a hundred professionals gathered in the hemicycle of the CEOE to know the project in an integral way and how it was worked during the last two years in order to carry out this pioneering project in Spain, which puts one more point of 'value' to the Facility Management market, in its path of professionalization and excellence in the business world.
The event was opened by the president of Ifma Spain, Francisco García Ahumada and Gonzalo Montoya, director of the Research Commission and member of the Board of Directors of the Association. The central point of the session was led by Jesús Sanz, member of the Research Commission and Gonzalo Montoya, both co-authors of the Vafm Management Manual that was presented. They presented the work methodology, content, development of the project, formulas for measuring added value indicators (KPIs) and opportunities for improvement, highlighting the four strategic pillars (People, Processes, Environments and Finance), as well as the 12 parameters of action in which the management of Facility Management is added value.
