SPACE AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS
At ISES Corporation, we realize that the creation and maintenance of accurate space and
inventory data is crucial to the efficient and effective operation of any Facilities Management
organization. This realization has led to the development of ISES Corporation's sophisticated
and streamlined methodology for the collection and management of space and inventory
data.
THE NEED IS DEFINED
Space and Inventory Management is key to the strategic management of the institution's
assets as well as for use in the forward planning of future needs and services. Accurate
space information can help with the decisions required for the acquisition or the construction
of new facilities as well as allocation of scarce resources. Inaccurate data can lead to
confusion and infighting between entities both within and outside your organization.
Real property is a major financial component of the institution's investment and future capital
expenditures and must be cataloged and tracked accurately. Proper documentation of space
and inventory information is critically important for providing current information to
maintenance and management activities, new space modifications, the designing of major
facilities, grants and contracting audits, and direct / indirect cost allocation.
THE SOLUTION IS CLEAR
ISES Corporation's professionals will analyze your current space management and inventory
program and provide extensive and detailed recommendations for action to remedy any
shortcomings. If necessary, ISES will physically inventory the space to compare collected
field data against existing data. If no data existing data is available, ISES will collect all the
necessary information from scratch. This effort can include, but is not limited to, the field
measurement of wall spans and room dimensions, the redrawing of CAD documents with
accurate data, the population and editing of existing database management systems, and/or
the creation and development of database systems from ground zero.
