Elevator system is one of the most important vertical transportation systems in a multi storey and/or high rise building. Its positioning placement needs to be of exacting standards as it affects the efficiency of movement for the building's occupants. The title of this research is "The Effectiveness Of Lift Service In The Main Campus Of UiTM Shah Alam" covers a little bit on the aspects of elevator management system which involves an organisation the study also concerns itself with the system's performance which affect the elevator effectiveness, which would in turn determine the adequacy of elevator provided for use especially during peak periods of use. In the context of facility management ,elevator system fall under the category of main services as it performs one of the core functions within a building; vertical conveyance. The study conducted is to analyse the effectiveness of elevator use in buildings built for academic purposes in UiTM. This is done by conducting an extensive research to determine the categories of the elevator system and also the methodology of facility management associated with elevator system. The research findings will also include an analysis of arising problems associated to the existing elevator system at the UiTM main campus Shah Alam. Also included are the stated needs, hopes and feedback from users of the campus's elevator system. Strategies are also suggested and concluded at the end of the overall research as a guide to the management staff of the elevator system. This is so, that a re-analysis of current procedures can be done and constructive changes can be made in conjunction with on going facility management practises for an optimal utilisation of current elevator facilities.
