Cost and process optimizations in the Facility Management area
The entire area of Facility Management embraces organisation, building and management of facilities and real estates. Facility management plays a more important role, the more cost pressure companies are confronted with. Cost optimal performance, aiming at maintaining low administrative efforts, represents the primary goal. In Facilty Management, in particular in the areas of manufacturing, real estate and infrastructure a "make or buy" decision needs to be taken under consideration of costs and performance quality. The manufacturing area involves the maintenance and planning of machine use, machine cleaning and fork lift trucks which are realized either through in-house- or external services. This also applies to the Facility Management’s real estate, infrastructure, travel management and catering.
However, both in-house manufacturing and external services involve the following challenges:
- lack of cost transparency
- no transparency regarding frequency and cost effectiveness of provided performances
- no standardized service provision
- no comparison between current and commercial costs
- no system for structured quality control
Our consultants at BERODE GmbH support companies in identifying and realizing existing potentials. Our understanding of Facility Management varies from analysing the company’s overall situation to implementing one or more new suppliers. The analysis of the company’s overall situation embraces the assessment of arising costs as well as potential and already contracted suppliers. Cost analysis of facilities or service cost estimations in cooperation with suppliers contribute to persuasive project results. Furthermore, we provide support for determining an optimal sourcing/benchmarking/tender as well as for developing an optimal Facility Management strategy.
