With the increasing demands on healthcare facilities and services, hospital buildings have gradually matured to become large capacity and numerous complex facilities. A hospital is a more complex system of interacting environments, in comparison with other kinds of buildings. The performance of hospital buildings depends highly upon the efficiency of maintenance execution. However, with ever-growing demands and decreasing budgets, facilities managers of hospitals must ensure facilities properly maintained without compromising their performance. In order to provide an appropriate environment in such a high-complex building, key maintenance items should be carefully analyzed and executed as well as decisions for proper maintenance budget allocation. This study classifies the maintenance cost into three categories, including periodic maintenance, repair, and demand change, and identifies the key maintenance items and their sub-items of the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). Besides, this study also compares the differences between NTUH and literatures based on the maintenance cost unit. This study not only identifies the key maintenance items but also establishes an effective prediction model for hospital building maintenance, evaluating the tendency of maintenance cost to provide important information for the facility managers. In the aspect of prediction model, this study adopts the grey forecasting model as the main structure and then integrates the exponential series and self-organizing mapping to recognize the regular and irregular residual errors, respectively. Results show that the proposed prediction model can catch the tendency of building maintenance cost effectively. |
