Facility Scorecard Metrics

All organizations have some metrics and many have scorecards, but you also need a clear vision for what facility scorecard metrics to have and how to use them.

FM Metrics Cut Thru the Noise

Most facility managers are bombarded by data and information daily. Email and text notification from systems, staff, service providers, executives, and building occupants can be overwhelming.

Frustration with information overload is due to our selective perception shaped by years of evolution to help us focus on things essential for survival. (More about this if you are interested…)

Facility Scorecard Metrics of Value

While it is true you can’t manage what you don’t measure, the reverse is important – don’t measure things you don’t intend to manage.

Data you have to report can be collected but does not need to be part of your key facility scorecard metrics unless you need to monitor or act on it. So the first step is to clarify the information you (or other users of your facility scorecard metrics) need.

Determine Facility metrics that matter

I was faced with a difficult business decision that required cutting back on some maintenance activities because of cost reductions. I also needed to quantify the savings associated with those cuts. In working with Bob Lambe of Facility Issues, we were able to utilize his knowledge as he developed a cloud based system that allowed us to run various scenarios and calculate the associated savings for each scenario, one of which we ultimately chose. We were then also able to migrate that model to another section of the department and utilize it to calculate their savings. I really couldn’t have met my goal without Bob’s help.

Extract Information from Your Increasing Volume of Facility Data

Facilities are complicated, with multiple “dimensions,” each of which has different measures and metrics. You have a wealth of facility related data: space, asset, budgets, work orders, invoices, staffing, etc.

The average organization has over a dozen systems and mobile apps used by facility managers. Data is spread among corporate system, facility systems, outside systems, and spreadsheets in a variety of forms.

System integration is complicated, but data can easily be extracted and integrated.

Summarize Actionable / Reference Info in One Convenient Place

The terms Dashboards and Scorecards are opten used interchangeably but have some key differences (More about this if you area interested…).

We believe in the value of scorecards based on a facility-centric data model for facility management and planning purposes (different than dashboards for real-time building system operation or energy management).

We Help with Facility Metrics Scorecards

Many organizations do not have corporate IT support, or dedicated department analyst to help with with data and metrics. Even fewer have easy to use integrated data reporting systems facility planning and management. We can help you move forward on a system setup that does not break the bank and start to develop your team on how to maintain and use it.

We Know Facility Data

We work with data and metrics specific to property and facility operations and understand the common sources and issues.

We Know Scorecards

Our various benchmarking programs integrate data from over a hundred organizations into interactive “scorecards.”

Don’t hire staff, get “fractional analyst” services for the desired amount of support you want.
