The workshop was facilitated by FM expert Professor Dr Michael Pitt from University of College London UK and was assisted by Ms Samantha Price, research assistant at University of College London UK. It was attended more than 30 participants from FM practitioners, consultants, government agencies, academia and professional associations. Introduction to Workshop The process of procurement within Facilities Management (FM) is primarily one of buying in services through supply chain assembly and management. This role has matured as FM has moved from a simple operational engineering discipline to a strategic management discipline over the last ten years. Today FM is a strategic tool employed to deliver added value to organisations. FM has at its heart the need for an organisation and organisational motives to serve and it is mainly this that differentiates it from the discipline of property and estate management. This workshop will examine the process of supply chain assembly looking at motivational and practical issues involved therein. Throughout the day we will develop a set of strategic supply chain development key areas and will re-examine these in the context of value added through the chain. Objectives of Workshop The Construction Research Institute of Malaysia (CREAM) in collaboration with the Faculty of the Built Environment, Universiti Malaya has organised this workshop with the following objectives:• • • • • To understand the form of the current typical FM supply chain in Malaysia To identify issues and challenges in relation to supply chain assembly To determine the key characteristics of FM procurement strategies in Malaysia To understand how perspectives and value impact upon FM services within the FM supply chain To begin to understand how sustainable practices can be incorporated into the supply chain 1 Designing and Managing the Strategic Facilities Management (FM) Supply Chain: the Malaysian Context Workshop Participants The CREAM has invited a good cross section of stakeholders who were primarily involved in facilities management to participate in the workshop.

One fairly generic definition is given by Christopher (1992) describing a supply chain as a network of organisations involved in upstream and downstream links in the different processes that add value to products and services. Lambert (2004) simply defines the supply chain as the integration of key business processes across the supply chain for the purpose of creating value for customers and stakeholders. With the inclusion of informational, financial and relational aspects supply chains become a multi-disciplinary and multi-functional set of activities dealing not only with the more physical activities but also with behavioural and intangible dimensions such as relationship building and management (Ritchie & Brindley, 2007). Traditional manufacturing supply chain management (SCM) theory focuses primarily on logistics. Within FM much of the supply chain is service led and as such the issues of supply chain assembly and management are fundamentally different. Strategic purchasing (Then, 1999) focused on the needs of the client (Nelson, 2004) through careful management of the supply chain supports issues such as the nature of buyersupplier relationship, the management of that relationship and FM purchasing contributing towards core organisational success (Chen and Paulraj, 2004). Additionally Chen & Paulraj (2004) argue that SCM must be composed through a chain of inter-reliant strategic collaborative relationships among the supply chain members with the objective of deriving mutual benefits. In essence a strategic partnering arrangement is required. The framework developed in figure 1 also draws on the innovative relational view of inter-organisational competitive advantage with an integrated approach to the planning and control of materials, services and information flows that add value for customers through collaborative relationships among supply chain members. The productivity nexus within the FM supply chain hides the latent added value (Sarshar & Pitt,2009) whilst managers themselves require demonstrable deliverables to the core business in order to justify the provision of the service and future re-investment in it either by the service provider directly or indirectly by the client. The core facilities management operation is therefore the development of a fully risk assed approach to strategic support of the core business through the FM supply chain. Analytical Methodology The conceptual framing of the FM supply depends upon the existence of a strategic thread not found in the industry by Salonen (2004). However, the perceived strategic importance of FM to companies has grown significantly in the last twenty years and whereas services may not be viewed by all as critical they are now rarely seen as purely operational. Figure 1 shows the Chen & Paulraj (2004) model which provides a conceptual framework for the understanding and interpretation of the workings of the FM supply chain. A customer focused approach to SCM necessitates strategic purchasing but it can also support the purchasing function should it fall below expectations. The focus of this paper is mainly the supply management section and it is here that the strategic focus is most easily understood. With a focus on strong strategic supply chain development a failure in the purchasing function itself can be treated as no more than a parenthesis in an otherwise workable supply chain. Without strategic SCM a single purchasing error potentially bring down the whole supply chain. 5 Designing and Managing the Strategic Facilities Management (FM) Supply Chain: the Malaysian Context Source : Chen and Paulraj (2004) Figure 1 : Supply Chain Management Research Framework Strategic Levels Organisations formulate strategies at three major levels: Corporate, business and functional. 1. Corporate strategy determines the business or businesses in which the firm will or should compete and how it will fundamentally conduct the business or businesses. Corporate strategy addresses the following matters: • Does the organisation have a strategic advantage? • Does the company want to compete or find a niche? • Does the company seek to concentrate on one product or product line, or on multiple products or products line? • Will the corporation be innovative? • Does the company want or need to grow, stabilise, reduce its investment, turn company fortunes around, or defend itself against a takeover? 2. The Business strategy level deals with competition within the specific area of operations. 3. Functional level strategies: Supports other strategies and answers the question, how do we obtain the most effective and efficient use of our resources? Whilst functional strategy may well be subservient to business and corporate strategies it must nonetheless support them. This is where the FM strategy is positioned. • Economic Functional strategies 1. Marketing 2. Operations-production or service generation 3. Finance 4. Human Resource management 5. Information Systems/Research and Development/Other significant areas 6 Designing and Managing the Strategic Facilities Management (FM) Supply Chain: the Malaysian Context Supply Chain Components For Ayers (2006) there are a number of considerations that must be accounted for in the assessment of the supply chain performance. These viewpoints are shown in Table 1. Supply Chain Risk and Structure The consideration of risk forms an important part of the supply chain management process. In Figure 1, Richie & Brindley (2007) identify the five major elements of risk that need to be addressed. Risk Context and Drivers Risk Management Influencers Primary Level Rewards Secondary Level Supply Chain Risks Timescales Decision Makers Percep�ons Risk Management Responses Risk Profile Risk Taking A�tudes Avoidance Experience Por�olio Performance Outcomes Profit related Personal Mi�ga�on Strategic Posi�oning Monitoring Personal Figure 1: Supply Chain Risk Management Framework (Richie & Brindley, 2007) The complexity of the risk management framework depends upon the nature of the supply chain itself. Viswanadham & Raghelementavan (2000) identify four distinctly different types of structure within supply chains as follows: 1. Serial structure: where one element of the chain feeds into another and the whole chain resembles a single pipe line. 2. Divergent structure: structure resembles a cone. At the vertex is the facility that produces a base product. 3. Convergent structure: a series of sub assembly stages leading to a finished product. 4. Network structure: a tandem combination of both convergent and divergent structures which is both sourcing and distribution intensive. 7 Designing and Managing the Strategic Facilities Management (FM) Supply Chain: the Malaysian Context The network structure typifies the advanced FM supply chain as it represents a complex, almost infinite, number of inter-relationships and variables. The nature of the FM supply chain presents the manager with a very high level of risk management complexity. In common with other aspects of FM supply chain management it therefore requires a very high level of skills across a wide range of disciplines. The complexity does not only lie in the involvement and integration of numerous services and parties in the delivery process of FM functions, but also in the determination of a common platform for strategic partners that share a common vision, goals and objectives towards organisational sustainability (Noor & Pitt, 2009). The Key FM Roles in SCM In the multiple contract management environment the key roles of the facility manager may be summarised as follows; 1. Supply Chain Assembly & Design The overall procurement process must enable the assembly of a supply chain that has the strategic capability to deliver the individual services in an effective manner that compliments the delivery of all other services. Each individual service impacts upon the other throughout the supply chain but the impact of each service upon the other will vary dependant on a number of variables. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. The nature of the core business The nature of the subject and second service The management of the subject and second service The criticality or perceived criticality of the two services The client investment in the two services The client relationship with the service provider Staff profile in the two services However, in the network structure each service impacts upon other services in an almost infinite number of ways making the concept of decision nodes less useful than critical or key decision nodes. The level of micro-management that would be required to take into account all of the meeting points between the services would be prohibitively complex and prohibitively time intensive. It would also be cost ineffective. Therefore the FM must identify key and critical areas of concern where two or more services interface in order to apply an active management role. Other less critical areas of interface will require a passive of delegated management role to be applied. In this way the FM can keep control over the business impact in a complex multi-services delivery model but can also manage the risk inherent in using several business models to deliver services to the same principal. The FM supply chain designer must have regard for all of these factors and how the chain will focus on the support of the core business operations. What is needed is a framework for risk and critical node management within the supply chain itself. Clearly identifying and reviewing these nodes at the time of supply chain design and construction will enable a greater level of added value to be maintained. 8 Designing and Managing the Strategic Facilities Management (FM) Supply Chain: the Malaysian Context 2. Supply chain individual business management In manufacturing many algorithm based models exist to enable the decision making process in the assembly and management of optimised supply chains. There is by no means complete agreement as to the efficiency of this process however (Zsidisin et al, 2004) with questions being raised over the comprehensiveness of the factors that are included in the decision making process. It would be normal for these models to be based upon cost reduction principles through the chain (Graves & Willems, 2005) where the quality monitoring of physical products is a matter of fact. These models are not as useful in the assessment of service delivery as the diverse nature of the FM business model is such that each set of circumstances are necessarily unique and whilst it can be argued that the greater the flexibility within the supply chain itself the greater the protection from inefficiencies (Graves & Tomlin, 2003) the combination of core and service multiple processes requires a degree of rigidity due primarily to the subservient nature of the FM supply chain to core operations. Each individual service represents a business in its own right within the overall client contract. As such we find an almost “mirror on mirror” effect as each business finds itself interlinked with another at two distinctly different levels. Firstly and more obviously the service businesses are linked through their relationship to and provision of services to the core client business. Secondly, in large facilities, there is the need for FM services to be provided to each provider by each provider. This requires that the facility manager focus on certain aspects of each service as follows: a. The service business viability – the FM must have regard to the circumstances of the service provider in relation to financial viability. This may relate solely to the profitability of the single contract or to the wider business of the service provider. This situation will impact upon the performance of the supply chain member in several ways not least the need for the FM to consider the business continuity implications (Pitt & Goyal, 2004). b. Innovation capability – where a service provider is already demonstrating an ability to manage processes for its own benefit and its customers benefit then the FM can afford to be more distant. In most cases however the provider will require an external catalyst to ensure the development of innovative solutions (Goyal& Pitt, 2007). c. Compliance – ensuring that the service provider adheres to all statutory requirements will always be a critical function d. Organisational behaviour – staff retention, motivation, capability, interaction and communication are all factors to be taken into consideration when assessing the critical nature of any part of the supply chain. e. Performance measurement – the FM must define the acceptable performance parameters for the service provider and enable the provider to demonstrate performance against this, the industry average and preferably best in class. The service should ideally be linked into the core business through customer satisfaction indices (Tucker & Pitt, 2010). 9 Designing and Managing the Strategic Facilities Management (FM) Supply Chain: the Malaysian Context An example of this would be the critical connection between cleaning and catering contractors at a point of food consumption within a meeting room. The FM knows that if these two services are to work together for the benefit of the core business that co-ordination is required. This co-ordination cannot be left to chance as it presents issues of space, time and order. The two services must take place within the same space in order that the facility may be used for its core purpose. The two services must take place at a clearly specified but different time and in the correct order. It is no good having the wrong room cleaned for a meeting two hours after the food was delivered five hours early to the correct room. A meeting in a dirty room with two potential sources of food poisoning is the very predictable outcome. The FM must determine the importance of this co-ordination to the efficiency of the main business and put appropriate management processes into place. It may be that a centralised booking system will automatically notify both service providers as to the nature of services required, when and where. Even so, contingencies and performance issue remain critical. This necessarily means that the FM must make judgement calls as to the sensitivity of the business to a systems failure and protect those with high or critical importance above others. It suggests multiple levels of service. Hence the critical node operational model requires that the FM has the ability to accurately identify the locations. In addition the nature and identity of critical and non-critical nodes can change over time. Workshop Outcomes 1. What does the Malaysian FM Supply Chain look like? The FM industry in Malaysia has an immature client and service provider base and is seen very much as remaining at the operational level. The client does not actually understand its own needs. There is a requirement to determine the FM needs of industry and to ensure that an appropriate delivery model is constructed. The FM focus itself is often primarily on maintenance but there was an understanding that the FM owns the responsibility for the added value that arises from the supply chain itself. However, supply chains are not generally recognised within the Malaysian FM sector. There is, however,an understanding of the factors that drive individual services as well as the need for a well-defined procurement process. These factors were identified as costs, resources, organisational requirements, policy, culture and expertise. The procurement process itself does not seem to be linked to a supply chain strategy overall with supply chain management being more of an ad hoc application of management processes than a centrally driven undertaking. Other than with Public Private Partnerships, that are very formal in nature, there is little in the way of informal partnering that may inform and drive the efficiency of the wider supply chain. Some of the participants viewed the supply chain from a professional discipline perspective rather than a services point of view however there does appear to be the possibility of greater maturity in terms of using supply chains in certain healthcare environments. 10 Designing and Managing the Strategic Facilities Management (FM) Supply Chain: the Malaysian Context 2. What is service and how should it be critically evaluated in the supply chain assembly process? A service was considered to be the end provision of facilities as the service itself provides the facility that the client requires or requests. This could be tangible or intangible and is intended to increase customer value and satisfaction. The level of service is important and depends upon customer needs. The continuous improvement process is customer driven and should result in better life cycle, quality and effectiveness. None of the groups were able to address the question of performance evaluation suggesting that FM performance measurement systems in the form of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and other benchmarking methods are not widely used in Malaysia. It was felt that service levels could be improved by the provision of a legal or statutory framework enabling quality management and training to be more efficiently delivered. The focus for the future could be more on the needs of customers and the type of relationships with customers. Overall the feeling was that there is a need to change the perception of the FM industry and type of service that it is able to deliver. Participants were given the four service perspectives (described earlier) of : • • • • Service Core product Price Image They were asked to rank the perspectives in order of importance when considering the delivery of services within an FM environment. There was no universal agreement as to the rank order of the perspectives. Whilst at the commencement of the workshop the general feeling was that FM services in Malaysia are very much cost driven only two groups cited this as the first ranking perspective in this exercise. There was clear outcome in terms of the perceived importance of the Core Product perspective but the overall feeling was that the Image perspective was of little importance. Surprisingly the Service perspective was not ranked highly by any of the groups indicating that the concept value add in service delivery is not widely recognised in the FM industry in Malaysia. 3. Develop a supply chain strategy. Due to the nature of the FM industry in Malaysia at the current time participants were unable to develop a realistic FM supply chain strategy. Therefore participants were asked to rank the following supply chain component functions:• • • • • Compliance Service Business Viability Innovation Capability Organisational Behaviour Performance Measurement 11 Designing and Managing the Strategic Facilities Management (FM) Supply Chain: the Malaysian Context Compliance Service Business Viability Innovation Capability Organisational Behaviour Performance Measurement Group A Group B Group C Group D Group E Totals Rank 1 1 1 2 2 7 1 2 2 1 1 8 2 4 5 5 4 5 23 5 5 4 4 5 4 22 4 3 3 3 3 3 15 3 Although innovation capability was ranked last in terms of the current situation in Malaysia participants identified this as a desirable aspect of the future development of the FM industry. There was a belief that the client would not understand the value of innovation. Organisational behaviour was seen (marginally) as the next least important supply chain function. It was also not seen as a necessary prerequisite to the successful development of supply chain strategies. This indicates that the level of understanding of the importance of relationships, staff performance and retention have not been addressed to date by the FM industry in Malaysia. This fits with the widely held belief that FM in Malaysia lacks a strategic dimension. The ranking of performance measurement positions it firmly in the centre of FM of supply chain component function importance. The final rankings of Compliance and Service Business Viability provide an interesting near tie. Whilst compliance has been ranked first due to its statutory nature the business viability of the service provider was ranked above this by two of the five groups. As effective business viability assessment requires something of a partnership arrangement this result suggest for the first time that the Malaysian FM industry may be opening up to the concept of partnering through the supply chain as a vehicle for procurement. Issues of sustainability would need to be driven by Government through regulation and policy and therefore become part of the compliance category. There was some recognition of the need for a green supply chain model. Conclusion In Malaysia FM is not widely regulated and is not considered a profession in its own right. There is a widespread acceptance that the FM industry in Malaysia can improve and that new Government policies and/or a regulatory framework may be needed in order to drive this. This may take the form of a Professional body such as the RICS in the UK. The operational and cost driven focus of the industry needs to mature into a service led strategic model. Whilst the green agenda is very much in its infancy in Malaysia this is beginning to be recognised as a necessary global effort. Whilst innovation is seen as the future is not widely understood and it is seen as the long-term future of FM rather than the near future. 12 Designing and Managing the Strategic Facilities Management (FM) Supply Chain: the Malaysian Context References Ayers, J.B.
