Involving facilities engineers early in planning ensures that the design optimizes operations and maintenance (C).

Early involvement allows engineers to recommend design choices that enhance energy efficiency, system reliability, and cost-effective maintenance.

As-built drawings (B) are important but do not influence initial design decisions.

Operational benchmarks (A) can be developed later once the building is in use.

Punch list items (D) are addressed during final construction stages, not in the initial planning.

Continuous improvement in facility management is best demonstrated through measurable performance indicators. The most effective way to formalize this commitment is by including continuous improvement indicators in the Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) define performance expectations, response times, maintenance schedules, and key performance indicators (KPIs) related to continuous improvement.

By incorporating KPIs into the SLA, facility managers ensure that the organization is held accountable for ongoing enhancements in service quality, cost efficiency, and innovation.

Finding out what other banks do (Option A) is a good research approach but does not directly demonstrate commitment to continuous improvement.

Writing to the bank (Option B) is a weak demonstration of commitment because it lacks measurable actions.

Asking the bank for requirements (Option D) shifts responsibility onto the client instead of proactively managing service improvements​.

Prevention is the most effective waste reduction strategy because it eliminates waste at the source. This involves:

Using fewer materials and designing processes to minimize waste.

Implementing sustainable procurement and production methods.

Encouraging behavioral changes to reduce unnecessary consumption.

Why the other options are incorrect:

(A) Reuse is beneficial but does not prevent waste generation.

(C) Recycling manages waste after it is created rather than preventing it.

(D) Composting is useful for organic waste but does not apply broadly​.

Reestablishing meeting guidelines (A) is the best way to address a win-lose power struggle, ensuring structured communication and conflict resolution.

Clearly defining roles and expectations prevents misunderstandings and fosters collaboration.

Reassigning project managers (B) can disrupt continuity and may not resolve underlying team conflicts.

Assigning members with similar personalities (C) can limit diverse problem-solving perspectives.

Adding more members (D) might increase complexity without addressing root causes.
