Creating Facilities Value
Creating facilities value for all stakeholders requires rigorous LEAN processes that support and assure collaborative early and ongoing information sharing, as well as decision support systems based upon current and actionable information.
The good news it that robust tools and services are readily available that can provide any organization and any facilities management team with the opportunity to efficiently maximize facilities value.
LEAN facilities procurement and construction project delivery methods integrate the “supply side” of the value chain (architects, engineers, builders…) with the “demand side” (facilities management, procurement, building users, oversight groups, community…).
Robust LEAN construction procurement and project delivery frameworks can consistently delivery quality, best value outcomes, on-demand, on-time, and on-budget versus the dismal track record associated with traditional methods such as design-bid-build.
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), and Job Order Contracting, bring together and leverage the experience and expertise from both the demand side and the supply side, in an early and ongoing basis. Properly designed and implement IPD and JOC Programs encourage and facilitate collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams that share and disseminate appropriate information. Accurate scope of work and full financial visibility and transparency are virtually assured through the required used of locally researched, detailed line item unit price book (UPB).
IPD and JOC leverage innovative design, procurement, and project delivery work flows. Both can be tailored to identify appropriate procurement and management strategies for individual clients, service providers, and program requirements.
