Core Competency Study

The majority of Japanese corporations and organizations are faced with the necessity of innovating and reform-ing their business approaches. The first thing they attempt is the ‘restructuring’ of their operations by reducing the number of employees, because the personnel expenses are the largest among all the business expenses, and they are the ‘fixed’ expenses that incur regardless of the economic conditions. However, 1. Almost no corporations and organizations pay sufficient attentions to the facility-related expenses, despite the fact that they are the second-largest ‘fixed’ expenses, and the real property costs in Japan are among highest in the world. Consequently, they are significantly falling behind in their steps needed to deal with this major issue. 2. Many of the facilities built during the ‘Real Estate Property Bubble’ period are significantly under-utilized, despite the fact that they continue to incur a large amount of costs to their owners. 3. Even the heavily facility-dependent corporations and organizations such as hospitals, schools, and governm- ent agencies run their facilities in irrational, uneconomic, and inadequate manners. Consequently, they are burdened with these under-managed facilities, and their management efficiencies are significantly reduced. 4. Many facilities need improvements in the areas of energy efficiency and environmental preservation, but no significant steps are taken.These facts clearly indicate that FM is one of the most necessary and vital business approaches for the Japanese businesses that should be implemented ‘today’.

Why is FM necessary?

What is FM?

Effects of FMWhen FM is introduced and properly implemented, following effects can be expected: 1. Unnecessary, under-managed, or inappropriately utilized facilities will be clearly identified. As a result, a clear vision toward the optimal management of the facilities will emerge. 2. Through the reform of the facilities, management efficiencies can be significantly improved and optimized. 3. The facility-related costs will be minimized. 4. Facilities improvements will bring about the comfortable and attractive environment for the clients, employees, and other users of the facilities. 5. Energy efficiency will be significantly improved, which in turn will provide an effective solution to the environ- mental concerns.

‘FM’ is a new business management approach that started in the United States.1. It is a comprehensive management approach for the optimization of the ownership, utilization, operation, and maintenance of the business real properties (land, buildings, structures, equipment, etc.) and maintain them in optimal conditions (minimum costs ＆ maximum effects), so that they could contribute to the overall man- agement of the business. 2. It differs from the conventional management of facilities (Property Administration or Building & Repairs) in the following aspects: 1) It goes beyond the ‘maintenance and operation’ perspectives and pursues the ‘better ways to manage’ the business real properties. 2) Not only existing facilities but also ideal ways of facilities newly planned are targeted. 3) In order to achieve this goal, it utilizes a wide range of technologies in various fields including the Informat- ion Technology. 4) FM is a comprehensive management approach comprised of three aspects ( See the diagram below ) :　　① Management strategy aspect - Pursuit of the optimal management of the entire business real property portfolio that could contribute to the overall management of the business.　　② Management and Control aspect - Improvements toward the optimized conditions of each facility/equip- ment.　　③ Operation and daily work aspect - Introduction of systematic and scientific methods to the daily facility -related works such as cleaning, maintenance, and repairs.3. It can be applied to the all types of business facilities including offices, factories, retail stores, distribution centers, etc.4. It should be implemented by all types of organizations including corporations, hospitals, schools, government agencies, etc.
