Comprehensive Self Study
Review In PPD
Sal Chiarelli, Director of Physical Plant, UVM
The main purposes of the study were:
To document the current status of the UVM
Physical Plant Department
Identify opportunities for increasing efficiency
Benchmark specific indicators against similar
departments in other universities and colleges
Create performance indicators for a continuous
improvement program.
Sal Chiarelli, Director of Physical Plant, UVM
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS
Sal Chiarelli, Director of Physical Plant, UVM
Driving Forces
• High tuition/room/board (27K)
• Over 50% choose facility related items
• Highly competitive market
• Customer expectations
• Chaotic/reactive
• Outsourcing seen as a threat
• Facilities is overhead
Sal Chiarelli, Director of Physical Plant, UVM
Customer Expectations
• Be invisible
• Like a utility
• I paid already (grants 50%)
• Varies according to the individual
• Be right over service
• Everything is an emergency
• Little or no planning
Sal Chiarelli, Director of Physical Plant, UVM
The goals for the project are as follows:
• Capture the relevant historical information and present it in a
logical format;
• Provide new information about customer satisfaction, employee issues,
staffing, industry changes and innovations;
• Identify opportunities for increasing efficiency within the
department;
• Develop priorities that will clarify funding requirements for the
department and assist in the budgeting process;
• Develop an understanding of the external and internal drivers that
force choices and changes within the department;
• Make recommendations for change and innovation for programs and
services;
• Develop a replicable process that also increases the capacity of
the staff to undertake similar studies in the future;
• Identify the consequences of not taking specific action or making
sustainable changes; and
• Improve the department’s morale by creating a participatory
process of self-study.

Current Deficiencies:
is often referred to as "deferred maintenance." For this chart, it is work that a prudent UVM facilities manager would have addressed, but has
delayed due to a lack of funding, or where the failure to undertake the work during the next five years would place it in that category.
Future Planned Component Renewal:
summarizes the rehabilitation/replacement cost of building components whose expected life is expected to expire at a future date, based upon
current condition and life cycle analysis. Work that is not done in the year (starting in FY'06) in which it is planned, subsequently gets added to the
current deficiencies" backlog the following year.
