PowerPoint Presentation [PPT]

Summary:
The Space Planning and Property Management Branch of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) establishes policies standards, and procedures for NRC-wide space and buildings acquisition and utilization. 9 years ago they purchased ARCHIBUS to see if it could help. The intention was to improve management of space vacancies.

In the ensuing years, during which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Office of Administration/Division of Facilities and Security/Space Planning and Property Management Branch has been using ARCHIBUS and has introduced a growing number of Web-based services, as well as modifications to the software to help meet the needs of users and improve service standards. The ARCHIBUS applications in use are the Space Management, Overlay for AutoCAD with Design Management, Furniture & Equipment Management, Building Operations Management, Web Central, and the Viewer.

Through the use of Web tools, the NRC has significantly reduced the processing time of inventory and property management and the space management processes, while meeting the reporting needs of management.

Most recently, they have added several innovative Web-based applications, including one for visitors stations around their facilities so that users can type into a portal and find people and locations. This session will also demonstrate the agency's new Web-based Move/Add/Change business process.

Learning Objectives:

• Expanding Web-based services throughout the NRC system
• Making more effective use of space and property using ARCHIBUS applications
• How to use scenario planning and forecasting to optimize space usage
