How Can You Reduce Your Facility Operating Costs?

Operating cost; It is the total cost that a facility incurs for all the resources it uses in its operating processes. In other words, the operating cost covers product and service costs, personnel costs, energy costs, procurement costs, taxes and all other expenses. In summary, these costs are necessary for the facility to be able to provide services in such a way as to produce the highest possible benefit. 

In the facility management sector, operating costs can be categorized as providing the service and receiving the service. The category where the profit level is discussed belongs to the facility management company providing the service, and in the category where the service cost-benefit level is measured, the service recipient is included. We think that reducing Business-Facility costs will only be possible with saving, healthy transformation of experience into actions to be taken in the cost-benefit equation, efficient active use of technology, conclusion of fixed-price contracts in an inflationary environment, and ultimately focusing on the main need, that is, the costs associated with the upper limit benefit, realizing that the products and services that we think are the cheapest are not the most useful supplies for the business. 

Strategies That Can Be Used to Reduce Operating Costs 

Among the strategies that can be used in the facility management sector, we think that it will be useful to establish innovative team-teams that have experience from their traditions in following process analyses, especially the savings measures to be taken, making the necessary improvements and integrating solutions that can be applied to the enterprise-facility related to technological developments, especially investments in efficient technology for the enterprise-facility will turn into profit in a very short time and therefore contribute positively to Decelerating costs. 

If we go into a little more detail, here are the steps that can be taken to reduce plant operating costs…

Regular Analysis of Operating Costs 

Regular monitoring of operating costs refers to a whole that begins with the correct interpretation of the reports resulting from the activities related to the facility to the project and constitutes the processes of planning the actual operations to be performed at the execution stage accordingly. The fact that regular analyses are short-term and frequent will allow costs to become more efficient, and the maximum cost efficiency that should be in the enterprise will be achieved by constantly updating the measures to be taken accordingly. 

Raising Staff/Department Productivity to the Ideal Level

One of the most effective ways to increase Operational-Facility costs to ideal levels is to follow the staff/department efficiency and take appropriate steps in this direction. In particular, efficient management of manpower, which is the sole capital of the facility management sector in the areas it serves, will make a difference at the point of service provided, giving positive impetus to the enterprise in terms of success and will bring out the highest benefit in terms of cost on the side of the facility receiving the service. Departments that work more efficiently and increase the quality and value of the business will naturally have a positive impact on the overall costs of your business. In addition, departments whose performance can be improved should also be identified and the necessary actions related to activities such as training, supervision and orientation should be taken in order to October to find maximum efficiency in personnel costs.

Optimization of the Supply Chain

The selection of suppliers and inventory management are important to reduce the costs and increase the efficiency of the enterprise. We all know that professional facility management companies with a high financial structure and purchasing power in our sector provide maximum benefits with lower costs compared to local and narrow-scope supply processes of individual facilities. It will be possible to supply the right products and services suitable for the purpose in the facility in accordance with the facility budgets again with good Sunday research for the needs. Making a mass purchase of products that are continuous and constantly consumed materials will facilitate the supply of products at more affordable prices. The use of an efficient program using technology or the development of procurement software for the facility will also prevent complexity during the implementation phase, allowing archiving of products and services supplied for the past and therefore planning for the future. 

Evaluating Barter Options

As we mentioned in the upper sections, the categorized qualification we make in the facility management sector is an instrument that can be applied especially for facility management companies providing services during the evaluation of barter options, and ultimately it is obvious that it provides common benefits to both categories. Barter trade, which refers to barter/exchange in terms of the meaning of the word, can be applied between different service groups as well as between the same product and service groups. Dec. The benefits are that it can provide mutual exchange of idle products and services with those who need them, largely eliminates the element of providing direct finance, and interest, etc. it is possible to prevent additional costs such as. October. 

Digitalization 

It is possible to prevent some of the costs incurred related to the activities carried out in facility management by actual savings. On the other hand, it is even possible that digitalization made using technology will make the costs close to zero in some cases. Ultimately, it turns out as indisputable facts that becoming different and advantageous in the sector will begin with the rapid supply of products and services and the cost advantage to be created on the one hand, and on the other hand, reducing the margin of error through the ingenuity of software and programs encoded by leaving the initiative to technology in this digital age we live in. 

Energy Saving

Nowadays, when energy saving is becoming increasingly important, energy efficiency is one of the issues that cannot be ignored Decently for enterprises. By reducing energy and water consumption, it is possible to achieve a very significant saving in operating costs. In this direction, enterprises can take steps to increase energy efficiency, turn to renewable energy sources and choose to use devices with energy class A. As an example of all these, sensor lamps located in closed areas, sensors located in taps, water used as much as needed, therefore, significant savings are obtained from energy, which is considered a national wealth. Another way to achieve these and similar savings is through investing and updating past technologies. In this way, accelerating investments that come across as a cost in a short period of time, but pay off more than enough after a while, will be quite effective in terms of energy saving.
