| 總結: | Maintenance management could be a complex subject if implementation and planning
issues of the building facility are not handled properly. In this context, the current
maintenance management method has affected the efficiency of the building facility
management at Polytechnics. Many issues such as poor service delivery, inadequate
finance, poor maintenance planning and maintenance backlogs were emerged due to the
usage of conventional method application (paper-based form and unsystematic database).
Therefore, this research is to review existing maintenance management practices, and
subsequently develop a prototype system based on the stated problems related to the
conventional method in improving the maintenance management processes.
Literature review and semi-structured interview was carried out to achieve the
objectives. Eight Polytechnics are selected based on major problems of using
conventional method in the comparison to investigate the maintenance management
practices in each Polytechnic. There are around 32 Polytechnics in Malaysia and almost
are using conventional methods. The number is considered very big indicating that the
use of modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is still very limited
compared to other institutions of higher learning in Malaysia. The results revealed that
the practice of maintenance management at Polytechnics needs to be improved and a
computerised system was proposed based on the requirements of a maintenance
management system identified through the case studies.
The framework was encapsulated in a computer-based prototype system based on
Microsoft Visual Basic.Net as a graphical user-interface while for the database design,
the Microsoft Access is used to deploy the information for maintenance management
processes. The computerised system was developed using Data Flow Diagram (DFD) and
coding. Subsequently, the prototype system was tested by running it until the critical
problems were fixed and its functional requirements work correctly. This system will
help with the building diagnosis and decision making process approaches. It will assist
staff in facilitating the maintenance identification, assessment, planning and execution in
relation to building facility. In conclusion, the developed prototype system can improve
the maintenance management practices effectiveness for building facility to provide highquality
building
facility
for
safe
and
healthy
