Abstract

Digital twins are increasingly popular in the built environment for addressing unique challenges through tailored use cases. One such application is in decision support and management for strategic facility management. Employing design science research strategy, this research proposes a digital twin framework for Lean strategic facility management, which explores the integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) process maturity. The findings present a structured approach that enables organisations to achieve enhanced decision support, efficient decision management, and combined Lean management. By leveraging the proposed framework, organisations can improve their performance through effective strategic facility management. This paper offers practical guidance for organisations seeking to adopt Lean management in strategic facility management, by providing a BIM maturity process for a Lean strategic facility management digital twin. Embracing this approach enables organisations to fully harness the potential of digital twins, driving customer value improvements.
