An Introduction to Asset Lifecycle Model for
Total Cost of Ownership Management

When: Wednesday, February 15th

Time: 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM (Lunch Included)

Asset Lifecycle

When you decide to buy a new or used car you consider a number of factors (fuel, predicted depreciation, insurance, and reliability). This same approach can be applied to buying, managing and disposing of facility assets.

The “Asset Lifecycle Model for Total Cost of Ownership Management” offers a cradle to grave process for measuring and managing a physical asset’s useful life. The framework provides a structure to help facility managers and property owners determine and manage the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to best support their particular organization’s overall business or mission. This presentation will introduce this framework, useful definitions, and cost models.

Message From The President

Hello fellow IFMA members.

I have been a member of IFMA since 1991. During my membership I have held many positions. I have also met many people, some through our local chapter and some through IFMA national. Some of these acquaintances have turned into lasting friendships. My point to all of this is that while IFMA is a terrific organization that supports the facility management profession, it is also a great forum for networking and developing lasting friendships with fellow professionals.

There are many opportunities throughout the year to network and get together with fellow IFMA members at our monthly meetings, golf outing, membership event and the many national events that IFMA offers. Networking with others is a great way to stay in touch with today’s hot business topics, stay in the know about what is happening locally and find out the challenges and wins other FM’s are faced with every day. When it is all said and done, we are all more alike that we realize.

World Workplace is fast approaching. This year’s conference will be held in Phoenix AZ. This is a fantastic opportunity to network with other IFMA professionals and build those friendships I spoke of earlier. If you have never been to WWP, I strongly recommend you attend.

I appreciate the opportunity to serve as the Central PA Chapter of IFMA President. I have big shoes to fill and I will do the job to the best of my ability. I look forward to meeting all of you at one or all of our upcoming events.

Michele Sinadinos, CFM
