Abstract
Facility Management (FM) is a discipline involving a variety of non-core operations and maintenance services to support the main business of an organization. This paper aims to provide an overview on the different ways of carrying out FM and related topics, in order to uncover that there is limited research regarding the impact of FM actions on the logistics and operational performance of distribution centres and warehouses. Four different focus areas have been identified and for each one different methodologies and streams of research are studied. The analysis highlights the importance of FM for the logistics activities and underlines the need for performing research, since very few studies have explored the relationship between FM strategy, maintenance actions and performance of logistics businesses.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
