Warehouse management can be time consuming and often resource intensive. Any unforeseen delays can be costly plus there are also added demands for the industry to increase productivity while at the same time reduce operational costs.
This business model relies on all aspects of the operation running efficiently and if faults are found or maintenance is needed, that they will be dealt with swiftly and smoothly reducing any downtime.
Reduce operating inefficiencies
By working with a facilities management company, businesses in this sector can ensure their facility is managed effectively, helping to reduce operating inefficiencies.
Precision FM has been working with a large automotive parts supplier for over five years, and looks after the facilities management of their distribution warehouse in the West Midlands, which is one of the largest of its kind in Europe.
The team at Precision FM know that in order to provide the best level of service, they must first align their own deliverables with the stringent KPIs their client will be measured against, and ensure that they can work in partnership with them to deliver real value.
As Brij Thankey, CEO at Precision FM, explains: “We know how effective FM can contribute to the bottom line, helping to drive workplace improvements and we base many of our recommendations to clients on metrics, with the data being used to analyse and improve the quality of the service delivered to our customers.
“In the warehouse sector, we set these metrics across a number of areas from the effectiveness of our client communication to ensuring all aspects of compliance are covered. These are developed based on our understanding of the key drivers for the client as facilities management can, in turn, help them to meet their own KPIs.
“From ensuring that warehouse doors open and the lighting works reliably, to enabling the lifts to function as they should to move goods around a facility, all the important health and safety issues are monitored right the way through to disposal of waste. Our teams work to make sure that warehouse assets and equipment are all in working order, all of the time.”
By outsourcing the management of a facility to an external company, businesses in the warehousing and logistic sector can benefit from a wide range of services that can help keep operations running efficiently.
