In order to experience what the 2 day IFMA Operations Management course is all about we filmed portions of the Nov 21 & 22nd session held in North Vancouver, BC. Conducted by Mr. John Vinkin who is from Sun Life where he is Facilities Director for over 300 buildings across North America
The primary role of facility managers is to manage/oversee an operating facility. To do this, facility managers must have a working knowledge of building systems, structure, interiors and exteriors and grounds so the facility and all of its required systems function efficiently, reliably, safely, securely and in a manner consistent with existing regulations and standards. Effective operation and maintenance of facilities is a complex responsibility in today's environment.
