February 16, 2004—UNICCO Service Company, an integrated facilities services outsourcing company, has won a contract to provide integrated facilities services for CIBA Vision at its worldwide headquarters in Duluth. The contract includes maintenance of all building systems, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, as well as managing subcontractors for landscaping and pest control.
The 790,000 sq. ft. four-building campus houses CIBA Visions corporate headquarters, research & development, manufacturing and distribution center.
UNICCO is applying the latest technologies to manage the maintenance, repair and reporting processes. The system begins with the MAXIMO computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) from MRO Software. This enables UNICCO to plan and schedule preventive maintenance (PM) based on established guidelines, track labor hours against specific equipment, and manage other metrics. It also manages work ticket status and reporting.
The CMMS system will be complemented by an online, Web-based reporting system that will enable both UNICCO and CIBA Vision management and staff to monitor specific jobs and access both summary and ad hoc reports. For more information, contact UNICCO.
