"Reviewing the State of Deferred Maintenance"
Author: Kaiser, Harvey H.
Published In: Facilities Manager
Date: November/December 2004

Outlines the principles that will form the research and eventual recommendations for Kaiser's current CFaR project on Facilities Reinvestment. Summarizes the issues and challenges of deferred maintenance liability, including definitions which incorrectly group life cycle capital renewal, for example, with campus deferred maintenance. Describes the data elements needed to analyze capital needs, using such methodologies as capacity analysis, condition needs assessment, functionality needs assessment, and life cycle renewal modeling. Understanding of the definitions and methodologies is necessary to develop a credible and persuasive capital planning process.  Includes tables, data collection templates, and calculations.
