The International Facility Management Association defines Facility Management as “an organizational function which integrates people, place and process within the built environment with the purpose of improving the quality of life of people and the productivity of the core business"

Facility management has adapted processes developed by other professions and enterprises for its own use. These processes include quality management, value management, risk management, building performance, environmental management, project management and a number of support services.
