Facilities “element consists of the permanent and
semi-permanent real property assets required to support
a system, including studies to define types of
facilities or facility improvements, location, space
needs, environmental requirements and equipment.
Certainly the non-availability of facilities can be just
as damaging to a system as would be the lack of spare
parts, trained personnel, or support equipment.
A last minute decision to deploy a system to a different
locale may require extraordinary efforts to correct the
facility delays. Keep in mind, facility requirements
can range from the simple addition of electrical power
to an existing work area, to the design and construction
of a multi-million dollar project. In either case, the
absence of the necessary capabilities within the
facility, or the absence of the facility itself, will
adversely affect the prime system the facility is
intended to support ”.
