IFMA CFM Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Corrective maintenance (also called "reactive maintenance") occurs only after equipment fails, leading to:

Unplanned downtime that disrupts operations.

Higher repair costs due to emergency fixes.

Shorter equipment lifespan because maintenance is delayed.

Preventive (A) and predictive (B) maintenance reduce downtime by scheduling repairs before failure. 24-hour (D) is not a recognized maintenance strategy​.

Stakeholders in facility management services for a multi-location client include all parties affected by the contractual agreement and service delivery. The correct choice encompasses internal, indirect, and external stakeholders who have a vested interest in the outcomes.

Key stakeholders in this scenario include:

Client’s customers – Their experience is directly impacted by facility conditions.

Internal stakeholders – Client’s corporate team responsible for overseeing retail operations.

Indirect stakeholders – Mall landlords and other entities affected by shared infrastructure.

Service providers and partners – Contractors and staff providing maintenance, security, and cleaning services.

Why the other options are incorrect:

(A) Other companies in the mall are indirectly related but not primary stakeholders.

(C) Staff and visitors at each store are important but do not represent all key stakeholders.

(D) Internal managers overseeing similar contracts are relevant, but they do not encompass the full scope of stakeholders.

Effective stakeholder engagement is critical for ensuring service continuity and optimizing costs while maintaining quality​.

The most accurate and up-to-date source of information regarding facility renovation regulations is the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

The local AHJ enforces building codes, zoning laws, fire safety regulations, and occupational health standards specific to that jurisdiction.

National government laws (Option A) provide a broad legal framework but may not cover region-specific requirements or permit processes.

The owner's corporate legal department (Option C) can provide legal interpretations but may not have expertise in local building codes or permit requirements.

The organization that wrote the law (Option D) (e.g., ISO or ANSI) may provide the original text of the standard, but compliance enforcement is handled by local authorities.

Facility managers must engage with local regulatory agencies to ensure compliance, secure necessary permits, and avoid legal liabilities​.
