Facility management (FM) is the supervision, operation, and maintenance of an organization’s services and facilities. It enables people, places, and processes to operate harmoniously within the working environment. To simplify the scope of facility management, it can be placed into two categories: Hard and Soft FM. Hard FM is concerned with the physical components of the workplace, while Soft FM is focused on the organization and the people. Although it may be a broad discipline, its ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life of individuals and the productivity of the business.
