MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF CARGO AGENTS BUILDING C

Abstract

A case study on the management tools and maintenance methods employed in the year old Cargo Agents Building C has been done in this dissertation. In addition, management and maintenance problems encountered in the older Cargo Agents Building A and B have been discussed. Maintenance considerations at the design stage of the cargo Agents Building C and the solutions that have been inplemented, are also looked into. This was based on the Authority experience in managing amd maintaining the 7 year old Buildings A and B. These considerations have been taken to minimise maintenance expenditure and to prevent reoccurrences of the same problems in the- new Building C. A high standard of maintenance is achieved in the Cargo Agents Building C, through specific and detailed maintenance programmes and effective control of maintenance activities in the Building, by the Authority. However, the problem of staff morale due to understaffing and over working is one aspect that must be looked into. The Management should also adopt a sterner stance as regards management problems in the Building, to ensure that tenants abide by covenants as stipulated in the tenancy agreement.
