ISO 41001:2018 Facility management system (FMS) — Requirements with guidance for use
It is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
ISO 41001 establishes the requirements, with specific instructions, for the company to adopt and maintain a Facility Management System that enables sustainable growth and especially when an organization:
- needs to demonstrate effective and efficient delivery of FM that supports the objectives of the demand organization;
- aims to consistently meet the needs of interested parties and applicable requirements; and
- aims to be sustainable in a globally-competitive environment.
Who Should Use ISO 41001?
- ISO 41001 can be used by companies in any sector including:
- factories;
- hotel industry;
- retail;
- others that are using a CMMS; and
- any organizations that want:
- to follow effective and efficient FM techniques that support the sustained growth of the organization;
- to increase the efficiency of maintenance and management tasks of facility management to reduce waste and costs;
- to improve employees’ experience by providing a healthier and safer working environment which is one of the Facility Management’s major challenges;
- to meet the expectations of employees, partners, and third parties; and
- to be sustainable in a globally competitive environment.
- Any kind of organization for which ISO 41001 implementation may be a legal or contractual requirement.
- Any organization that wants to establish, implement, operate, and maintain an FMS.
- Any organisation that may face the risks and lost opportunities involved with not having an ISO 41001:
- where ISO 41001 may be a legal or contractual requirement; and
- you will potentially be eligible for more lucrative, large scale both government and private sector contracts that are only offered to organisations that have ISO 41001.
