Strategic Planning & Reimagining Cornell
Objectives of Facilities/Utilities initiatives
Zone Management Team Team Charge: Establish a zone organization structure for the facilities function campus-wide based on the concepts of central deployed, locally managed facilities employees, and defined, uniform, management-level facilities positions throughout the university. Transition the Trade Shops to a maintenance-focused organization. Goal: Strengthen the partnerships between FS and the units it serves. Improve service delivery. Establish service agreements and tools to measure quality of service. Reduce costs.
Zone Management Definition: Organizational structure for Cornell s facilities function that is based on areas of the campus and like facilities rather than departments or technical function Purpose is to improve delivery of facilities services by creating more effective partnerships & accountability between central and unit facilities staff, and Establishing a more uniform approach to staffing the facilities function in the colleges and units

Zone Trade Crew Implementation Three Core Requirements Increase partnership and accountability by deploying trades people by zone rather than by technical function: Locally Managed, Centrally Deployed Keep the strong technical skills of the trade shops Do not add staff zone crew leadership positions will be filled by existing assist. supers and general forepersons (Building Care and Grounds are already zoned)
Zone Trade Crew Implementation Two new zone trade shops plus the Campus Life/SAS Shop Each zone trade shop will have a core dedicated staff, sized for corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, small projects All work requests for Shops services in the zone will go to the zone trade shops and most will be managed there: not just those that will be executed by dedicated zone staff The central shops will be the home of subject matter expertise and specialty services The Shops financial model is unchanged

Zone Trade Crew Implementation Lessons Learned in the Pilot We can t over communicate about Zone Management Some people on campus have a well defined process for working with the Shops and are suspicious about the ZM protocol The pilot zone trade crew is generally very well received by our customers positive feedback on communication and coordination There is a perception that we are forcing emergency calls to flow through the zone trade crew intake process: we are not
