Facility Management is being considered by many successful and futuristic companies as the tool that will provide them the decisive competitive edge in contemporary global economy. Before elaborating on the specific Facility Management Services provided by Spectro, it is important to understand the basics and importance of FMS.

Understanding Facility Management Services

The activities of any business organization include the basic or Core activities (like manufacturing a product or providing certain services) and the supporting or Non-Core activities (like maintenance, installation, health and safety of staff). Although from a profit-earning mode of thinking, the non-core activities do not assume significant importance, but from the point of view of achieving business sustainability and maintaining business credibility, such activities need proper, if not equal, attention. Facility Management involves effective utilization and harnessing of the supporting activities for enhancement in performance of the Core business activities. Facility Management can be defined in a number of ways, including standard & commercial perspectives. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has defined FMS as "The integration of processes within an organization to maintain and develop the agreed services which support and improve the effectiveness of its primary activities." It involves a harmonious coordination of aspects relating to the 3 main building blocks of a business firm - Place, Process, and People.

Effective Facilities Management, Combining Resources and Activities, is vital to the success of any Organization. The Advantages offered by Facility Management are:

• Optimization of the performance of a company's core business activities by enhancing productivity and efficiency
• Minimization of the operations expense of business (running cost)
• Reduction in losses arising out of mismanagement of non-core activities
• Compliance with various regulatory norms related to corporate activities
• Better management of tangible (Office furniture, electrical and electronic appliances,space, interior designing) and intangible (security, Safety, inventory) assetsand concerns
• Creation of a better work-place environment in terms of Safety and Occupational Health
• Enhancement of an organization's work culture and image

Since the business needs of every organization are different from the other, the selection and execution of Facility Management Services are very important. Companies generally outsource these activities to specialized FMS providers in order to save on time and money. Spectro has a dedicated team of professionals who have the necessary technical expertise, resourcefulness, and experience to provide company-specific FM services, and also suggest future course of actions/strategies in this matter.
