7.0 Assessment Of Current State

Before proposing any changes or improvements, it's essential to conduct a thorough


assessment of the current state of facilities management (FM) within the office building.
This assessment helps identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats,
providing valuable insights to inform strategic decision-making.

Firstly, data on existing FM processes, procedures, and service delivery methods should
be collected. This includes reviewing documentation such as maintenance records,
cleaning schedules, security protocols, and tenant feedback. Additionally, conducting site
visits and inspections to assess the physical condition of the building and its infrastructure
is necessary.

Once the data is gathered, it's crucial to evaluate the performance of current FM services
against established service level agreements (SLAs) and key performance indicators
(KPIs). This involves reviewing response times for maintenance requests, cleaning
frequency, security monitoring effectiveness, energy and water management practices,
and space utilization efficiency.

Feedback from tenants regarding FM services, communication effectiveness, and overall


satisfaction levels should also be analyzed. Complaints or issues raised by tenants related
to maintenance, cleanliness, security, utilities, or space management should be reviewed
to identify recurring themes or common concerns.

Assessing compliance with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and best practices
in FM is another critical aspect of the assessment process. Additionally, risk management
practices, including emergency preparedness, safety protocols, and mitigation strategies,
should be evaluated to identify any areas of non-compliance or potential risks that require
immediate attention.

19 | P a g e
Reviewing the allocation of budgetary resources for FM activities, including staffing,
equipment, maintenance contracts, and capital expenditures, is essential to ensure cost-
effectiveness. Opportunities for optimizing resource allocation should be identified based
on the review.

Benchmarking against industry standards and best practices in FM helps assess the
competitiveness of current practices. Comparing performance metrics with similar
buildings or competitors can identify areas of relative strength or weakness.

Engaging with key stakeholders, including building owners, tenants, FM staff, service
providers, and regulatory authorities, is crucial to solicit feedback and input on current FM
operations, challenges, and areas for improvement.

Finally, summarizing findings from the assessment process using a SWOT (Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis framework helps identify strategic
opportunities for enhancing FM services, addressing weaknesses, leveraging strengths,
and mitigating threats.

Strengths Weaknesses
- Modern, purpose-built infrastructure - Vacant Level 8

8.0 Solution Development In FM

In order to decrease and manage operating expenses while enhancing the company's
concentration, we have pinpointed various services that will be contracted out to external
vendors. This approach allows us to reallocate internal resources for novel initiatives and
streamline the efficiency of labor-intensive tasks that the company may currently lack
resources for. The green highlights in Figure 1 depict the services we have chosen to
outsource to selected service providers capable of delivering superior service to fulfill our
customers' requirements. We utilize the matrix as a reference point for determining which
services to outsource.

Figure 1: Outsource Matrix

21 | P a g e
We have delineated several factors crucial for selecting our outsourcing partners. These
factors are pivotal in enabling them to serve as our contracted partners, and they include:
1. Resources: We assess the robustness of our workforce in terms of their
capabilities. If we lack the necessary expertise internally, outsourcing becomes a
viable option. This strength is evaluated based on the knowledge and competence
of our workforce.
2. Cost: We consider various cost aspects, including salaries, essential equipment,
and training requirements for upskilling our workforce. These factors help us
determine the cost-effectiveness of outsourcing compared to in-house operations.
3. Risk: Evaluation of the risk associated with a particular service is imperative. If the
risk is deemed high, transferring it to more proficient and efficient external partners
helps mitigate potential risks associated with internal operations.

activities that require ongoing control and supervision, such as cleaning, security
monitoring, and general maintenance. In-house services provide greater control and
flexibility over service delivery, allowing the facilities management team to adapt quickly to
changing needs and priorities.

Outsourced Services:
These are services that are contracted out to external vendors or service providers. They
typically involve specialized tasks or activities that require specific expertise, equipment,
