What is a Facilities Assessment?Each supervisor and lead mechanic assessed the condition of the system in which they maintain and assigned a condition code: red, yellow, or green:Red means it needs to be replaced within 1 year.Yellow means it needs to be replaced within 2-4 yearsGreen means the system is good for 5 or more years.•Cost estimates were completed on all red items and some of the yellow items which could be completed with in-house work force.(Biggest bang for $ using in-house work force).
