When it comes to the subject of Facility Management, there are many things that come to mind like Operations, Maintenance, Health, Safety etc. Some of these can also be categorised as being a Core Facility. So, other than modules like Work Order, Billing and Invoice and Project Management, what other module also takes precedence here? The answer is simple – an Instrument Scheduler.

Why is it important to schedule your activities?

In this modern age, there are only two things that people care about the most. One is obviously money, which gives control, so which is the second one? Simple enough – time. In fact, keeping up with time can help you earn money, but money cannot stop time from passing away. So, a better judgement would be to manage time judiciously for all those activities people take part in nowadays.

And what better way it would be to manage time than maintaining a schedule for all these activities? In fact, everyone around the world has been taught from a very early age about the importance of preparing schedules and routines for their daily lives. That was just a preparation for the strict punctuality and time management that every institution calls for today.

How software-based scheduler modules can come to help?

Don’t you think that people are too much busy today even to prepare a nice schedule that would have put all their time-related problems to rest? Well, what humans can’t, machines certainly can. So, for making the best use of Facility Management practices, it would be advisable to opt for reputed core management software that boast of a nice module for Instrument Scheduler.

And what are its features that can hopefully benefit your organization? For one, it has made the task of making user reservations much simpler, being only a few clicks away. Formulating your policies and rules with regards to availability of time have also been made available and that too easy enough for everyone. Notifications on email can now also be configured, and if you were wondering about validating each reservation with separate account codes, that has also been made achievable.

Add to that, you can make use of something known as Shared Instrumentation Facility that is a part of the module. This enables your peer administrators to keep themselves synched with the schedule and thereby avoiding any chance of miscommunication. Thus, you know why many institutions have opted for a software-based environment when it comes to Facility Management. Hopefully you will also think of emulating such a practice, which will only prove to be beneficial to your cause and nothing else.
