Abstract

Purpose Through its advanced computational capabilities, cyber–physical systems (CPS) proffer solutions to some of the cultural challenges plaguing the effective delivery of facilities management (FM) mandates. This study aims to explore the drivers for the uptake of CPS for FM functions using a qualitative approach – the Delphi technique. Design/methodology/approach Using the Delphi technique, the study selected experts through a well-defined process entailing a pre-determined set of criteria. The experts gave their opinions in two iterations which were subjected to statistical analyses such as the measure of central tendency and interquartile deviation in ascertaining consensus among the experts and the Mann–Whitney U test in establishing if there is a difference in the opinions given by the experts. Findings The study’s findings show that six of the identified drivers of the uptake of CPS for FM were attributed to be of very high significance, while 12 were of high significance. Furthermore, it was revealed that there is no significant statistical difference in the opinions given by experts in professional practice and academia. Practical implications The study’s outcome provides the requisite insight into the propelling measures for the uptake of CPS for FM by organisations and, by extension, aiding digital transformation for effective FM delivery. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, evidence from the literature suggests that no study has showcased the drivers of the incorporation of CPS for FM. Hence, this study fills this gap in knowledge by unravelling the significant propelling measures of the integration of CPS for FM functions.

面向设施管理的信息物理系统:推进措施的德尔菲研究
通过其先进的计算能力,网络物理系统(CPS)为一些困扰设施管理(FM)任务有效交付的文化挑战提供了解决方案。本研究旨在探讨使用定性方法-德尔菲技术对调频功能采用CPS的驱动因素。设计/方法/方法采用德尔菲技术,研究通过定义明确的过程选择专家,该过程包含一套预先确定的标准。专家在两次迭代中给出他们的意见,这些意见受到统计分析的影响,例如确定专家之间共识的集中趋势和四分位数偏差的测量,以及确定专家给出的意见是否存在差异的曼-惠特尼U检验。研究结果研究结果表明,在已确定的影响FM摄取CPS的因素中,有6个具有非常重要的意义,而12个具有高度重要的意义。此外,专家在专业实践和学术界给出的意见没有显著的统计差异。实际意义该研究的结果提供了必要的见解,推动措施,以采用CPS的FM组织,并通过扩展,帮助数字化转型,有效的FM交付。原创性/价值据作者所知,来自文献的证据表明,没有研究展示了将CPS纳入FM的驱动因素。因此,本研究通过揭示CPS对FM功能整合的重要推动措施来填补这一知识空白。
