Title Facility Management outsourcing: the success factors in NCER semiconductor industry/ Phoon Chee Wai
Abstract Facility Management (FM) outsourcing has been considered as the strategic positioning of an organization to allow more flexibility as well as to free up resource to develop core business. However, the initiative has always been facing many problems resulting low market acceptance especially in semiconductor industry. This study explores to find out the reasons behind the failure through exploratory research with questionnaire survey and interview method. The target sample is the FM clients and service providers actively practicing outsourcing in Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) semiconductor industry. The research has been successful identified the problems and critical success factors in FM outsourcing through exploratory research into demographics of FM players, FM industry trends, outsourcing criteria and success evaluation, and FM market trends. The success factors could be derived from four perspectives: human capital, market strategy, contract management, and FM recognition. Human capital remains the key success factor to FM outsourcing with the selection of the right people in the program. Market strategy should pay attention to the value engineering to create total cost of ownership (TCO). As it is found that cost element in FM outsourcing initiative is secondary to the other perspectives namely flexibility, quality, customer orientation and information, FM service provider should place more emphasis on those perspectives during the delivery of services. It is also important to see recognition in industry that could spur the career advancement and professional development in FM.
