How to scope and describe service content, how to make supplier/partner evaluation.
IB seeks IS ~ lh
Consistent Process
• Proposing a different approach to procuring and managing suppliers
• One-size-fits-all will not work, but consistent tools, methodology and practice for all levels of service globally is essential
• Evaluate what is delivered where, by whom and the rationale?
• Investigate which services in each region could, and should be considered for re-engineering?
• Organisational change is essential so that all parties focus on their core-competency
• Sharing ‘good practice’ with partners
• Partners need to re-organise too; be open, honest, inventive, embrace change
ALWAYS ACCOUNTING FOR THE LOCAL CULTURE, PRACTICES, POLICIES, PRACTICALITIES AND LEGAL RESTRICTIONS

Intelligent Buildings
Intelligent Building?
Built 500 years ago
Structurally sound, perfect acoustics
Cool in summer, warm (enough) in winter
Has been slightly modified during its life time
And continues to meet the needs…
but the catch is that the needs have never changed
It’s not only the design & construction that makes it intelligent, but the lifetime usefulness, adaptability and operational costs
Intelligent Building?
Built 20 years ago
Possibly sound - but looks outdated
Cool (enough) in summer, warm in winter, but systems have been
routinely altered
Has had many ‘owners’ – all of whom have had differing needs Will it continue to meet the needs?

Considerations for Sourcing
Providers of service need to be more report/knowledge centric
rather than just ‘the fixer’
If we don’t act on information, and align incentives the services can
stagnate
Contracts and SLA’s have to be well defined, but flexible enough to meet changing business needs Correct sourcing enables the
customer to focus on the what, where and who whilst the how is provided by
external experts
The customer should specify
reporting requirements, own all data, and analyse this to ensure proactivity
Generic Global Contracts can be delivered but only with essential
regional ‘tailoring’

Outsourcing Process
Understand…. what are the objectives
Reduce operational costs (do we have a sum in mind, is it realistic/proven) Savings in the cost of doing business
Process improvements
Productivity gains, including technology & tools Reduce or eliminate unproductive tasks
Optimise resources across a wide scope of activities Eliminate managers managing managers
Focus (maintenance in particular) on higher priority issues
Assess…. the options
What is our current state (contracts, SLA’s, spend) How mature is the supplier market
What ways could we procure What method shall we employ
Which services are in the scope, which locations Who should be on the team (use your experts)
Soft costs

Outsourcing Process
Scope…. include as much as possible
Reduces the risk of pricing variables
Enables the service provider to quantify workload Bundle the services where there are synergies
Specify a solution to ensure ‘apples/apples’ comparison Don’t be too prescriptive
Provide as much detail as possible
Be honest …there are data/information gaps!
Look for innovation, off-the-wall suggestions
Evaluate…. at different levels
Use measurement criteria Involve the team
Weight the elements of operational content
Appraise the pricing separately and from different angles Risk Analysis
Re-evaluate throughout the selection process
How will on-going success be measured and rewarded

Business Risk Analysis
• The business activities, the facilities infrastructure and associated risks should be understood by the facilities team
• What is required
– Level, complexity and criticality of ‘maintenance’ service
• Where is it required
– Similar facilities, business usage, locations, geography, climate
• Who is best placed
– Specialists for technical, utilities, general etc., in-house or externally sourced
– Avoid responsibility-ping-pong
• Two main methods of managing
– Output based ~ a performance standard
(temperature in our production facilities must be between 20o - 22o)
– Input based ~ prescriptive ~ H&S/insurance/regulatory
(replace air filters every x months, inspect & test lift cables every x months)

Continual Performance Measurement
Varying levels of detail required for Site (building), Regional (country), and Global analysis
Terminology, criteria, description and reporting systems must be consistent and compatible
Findings must be shared, lessons learnt, and corrective solutions / good practices cascaded where appropriate
Data in-put / helpdesk / selected partners / FM analysts must all be trained in the use of reporting tools
Categorisation (eg. Warranty, PPM, Technical failure, Damage, Cleaning, ‘Wish- list’) must be clearly explained
There’s no point if you don’t use the data!

Partner Incentive Alignment Concept
? The “current spend” established on a project basis for selected services that could be bundled
? Partner assumes management of related services, assets and staff
? Partner then helps drive down the cost of delivering services throughout the term of the agreement
? The partner will share in the savings made
Gain to be Shared
Current service spend
