| Summary: | This paper considers the links between environmental management systems using
facilities management information system (FMIS). Environmental information
management systems (EIMS) can assist firms in organizing internal corporate
benchmarking efforts. It attempt to capture environmental impacts from activities
throughout a facility under a single system and generally follow traditional benchmarking
cycles of plan, do, check, and act. An environmental policy is the central component of
and EIMS. The policy typically details the organization's recognition of environmental
impacts and states commitment to continuous environmental improvement.
Documentation includes a wide variety of elements, including the environmental policy,
regulations to which organization is subject, procedures and protocols of activities, and
records of monitoring and measurements. These documents define the activities of an
EIMS and how personnel across the organization should act to fulfill responsibilities and
hopefully meet target of improvement. Thus, how can EIMS relate to Facilities
Management Information System? A popular definition for facilities management is the
practice of coordinating the physical workplace with the people and work of an
organization; it integrates the principles of business administration, architecture, and the
behavioral and engineering sciences. It is concerned with the identification of the client's
objective in terms of utility, function, quality, time and cost, and the establishment of
relationships between resources. This paper will study on how facilities management
information system can simplify the work in environmental management system. |
