Performance Profiling
Synergis Management Services have developed a consulting process & tool which is used for measuring the performance of the Facility Management (FM) function of any organisation. The tool is known as fmPROFILE® .
fmPROFILE® is based on Kaplan & Norton's Balanced Score Card concept in that the performance of the FM function is scored in relation to different key factors relating to FM such as:

Developing FM strategy, documenting business plans and achieving objectivesAsset Management

Providing a safe, healthy and sustainable environment for facility usersFinancial Management

UThe tool has been developed jointly by Synergis, The Hong Kong Jockey Club and Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It involves a series of pre-determined questions in each of the key factor areas and the process will score the responses and input to a database which manipulates the data to produce a pictorial performance profile similar to the one shown below:The balanced performance profile compares an organisations FM function to perceived best practice and clearly illustrates strengths and more importantly, opportunities for improvement.
