Influence of available resources on the defect elimination

Abstract

The paper investigates the influence of resources that we need for maintaining the buildings. The quality and quantity of the maintenance works ensure the level of services that are provided for building users. The solution is based on the system dynamics methodology. The model has been developed where the main input parameters are available resources – components for the maintenance of the building, workers and financial resources. The main output parameter is number of defects and the balance of the financial resources. This parameter includes the costs of the planned maintenance and costs of the repair works. The case study presents the calculation of main parameters. The outputs demonstrate the importance of well-designed budget and adequate hire rate.
