A building maintenance manpower simulation model is developed within the case context of a specific hospital complex to investigate the potential gain to be realised using different manpower management and operational procedures. Allowance is made for daily variation in demand for maintenance, sickness and holiday patterns, and the characteristic of different trades. Numerical results are presented for the plumbing trade as a particular example of modelling output.
