VALUES

INSIGHT . . . into successful methods and practices

INNOVATION . . . matching external breakthroughs with internal needs

INTEGRITY . . . in managing information, and in working with people

APPROACH

Guerin Associates‟ approach is based on two essential elements:

Clear, professional “apples-to-apples” definitions, data and comparisons

Our unique “Value Methodology,” balancing cost control with service quality

Experienced leaders know it takes more than data to improve a business. We

compare different companies and industries to identify "best practices." We then

recommend strategies to help clients close gaps with "best performers."

GA also helps clients implement improvements, by adopting best practices,

redesigning business processes, supporting performance management programs.

and developing customized facilities scorecards.

HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE –AND PROVE–

THE VALUE YOU ADD TO THE BUSINESS

Many organizations use cost and performance metrics to

evaluate and monitor effectiveness vis-à-vis their peers.

Some acquire data from published sources, others from

service providers. Those using such sources face a challenge:

Assuring themselves --and others-- that the information is

accurate, with objective, unbiased recommendations.

A VALUE AUDIT is an effective alternative that:

Determines objectively where you stand compared to peers

Quantifies gaps in costs, staffing, productivity and quality

Zeroes in quickly on major savings and improvements

Challenges inertia with objective, external data

Identifies and adapts tested “best practices”

Avoids re-inventing proven solutions

An evaluation done by an outside third party significantly

reduces management skepticism toward positive findings. It

also lowers internal staff resistance to any negative findings. It

provides achievable goals, and methods to achieve them.

Most participants find that Value Audits reveal unexpected

cost savings, and tested solutions to their service problems.

Best performers know the future is a moving target, and use

this robust, concise data to drive continuous improvement.

Guerin Associates can help you acquire this intelligence for

your facilities. Contact us for information on Value Audits, or

our Facilities Scorecard for ongoing performance tracking.

Critical Success Factors:

Use a 3rd party for objectivity & confidentiality

Seek actionable, “apples to apples” comparisons

Focus on positive conclusions:

Proof where costs & services are well-managed

Tested solutions where improvement is needed

Methodology www.guerinassociates.com



Operational Data may be required as part of a service provider‟s contract.

These reports may be based only on their own customers, and more importantly,

they may not be free of bias. Vendors have an understandable incentive to

report that their costs are reasonable. Conversely, prospective new vendors

may be tempted to report that your costs are too high, in hopes of obtaining work.

National or local trade associations and consortium studies provide excellent,

unbiased data. They generally do not customize reports for specific facilities or

different operational needs, or scrutinize your data for consistency with others.

Because they work with individual firms, third parties such as Guerin Associates

can tailor studies to specific facilities. They also serve a role similar to a fiduciary,

where the primary objective is achieving the best interests of the client.

Key Question:

How do we know our information is accurate, unbiased and reliable?

EXAMPLES OF SERVICES

GA helps clients assess, improve and articulate their Total Value Proposition. We

accomplish this through an integrated strategy that can address all aspects of

Real Estate and Facilities Management, providing a Total Value Assessment.

REAL ESTATE

Total Facility Costs Compare global, US, regional & local costs of

owning, leasing and operating facilities. Identify

hidden overhead, and gain insight into key ratios.

Space Utilization Compare 3 key space utilization ratios, and

quantify the impact of each on your facilities.

See how Alternative Workplaces reduce costs.

Strategic Planning Align your portfolio for transition to an optimal,

long-term strategic plan. Acquire the data and

insight to compare and select best locations.

“Value By Design” Optimize environmental and economic goals,

through professional peer review of A/E designs,

carbon output, space standards and amenities.

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

Customer Alignment Evaluate customer satisfaction in key accounts.

Analyze gaps between needs and KPI goals,

and identify any major service misalignments.

Cost Benchmarking Compare costs per SF, per workspace, per

person, etc. with similar facilities, through clear

definitions and apples-to-apples comparisons.

Operations Analysis Go beyond cost benchmarking. Determine

your “Value Ratio” by measuring KPIs (key

performance indicators), as well as costs.

Contractor Selection Analyze costs, staffing and performance of

current contractors. Identify alternatives, plan

and execute bidding & selection process.

Projects www.guerinassociates.com



CONTRACTOR SELECTION

Client: U.S. Semiconductor Supplier, Santa Clara, CA

With frequent moves and relocations of internal staff, involving many reconfigurations

and construction, this company sought competitive bids to outsource the entire move

management (“churn”) process.

GA assisted the prime consultant in defining cost categories and performance criteria,

evaluating vendors‟ qualifications and each of their on-site presentations, and in

selecting the successful vendor.

A multi-year agreement was established, and substantial savings are projected.


Client: U.S. Life Sciences Company, St. Louis, MO

Similar to the project above, this client had a large, complex campus, with numerous,

expensive moves and move-related construction projects occurring annually.

GA was retained as a subject matter expert, to assist the client in mapping all of the

business processes associated with moves, co-leading a process redesign team (of

clients, staff and vendors), and renegotiating an agreement with the incumbent vendor

providing move planning, design and coordination services.

Numerous time and cost saving recommendations were developed and implemented.


Client: U.S. Pharmaceuticals Company, Central New Jersey

This firm had numerous small- to medium-size renovation and equipment installation

projects requiring extensive documentation of design. Research and production facilities

required rigorous compliance with the FDA and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices).

The client was dissatisfied with the selection process for architects and engineers, and

with their services, schedules and costs. GA was invited by the prime consultant to assist

in the process of identifying, screening, evaluating and selecting candidate design firms.

GA developed detailed criteria, and wrote comprehensive bid solicitation documents,

used to obtain proposals from 20+/- leading A&E firms in Northern NJ. GA reviewed the

extensive A&E packages submitted, listing relevant experience, personnel, costs, etc.

GA provided the client with interview questions, agendas, scoring sheets and weighted

criteria, used in selecting the successful design firms for long-term contracts.

Multi-year agreements were established, addressing all major criteria and concerns.




FACILITIES BENCHMARKING

Client: U.S. Semiconductor Company

With significant new mergers and acquisition activity, this company wished to obtain

internal and external benchmark comparisons, clear cost savings and improvement

opportunities. GA analyzed data in both the client‟s accounting categories, and GA‟s

benchmarking classifications.

Key Performance Indicators were applied in each area, to assess the relative value of

services versus costs. Workshops were held with staffing groups to evaluate cost

differentials, and review and consider “best practices” to improve performance in each

function. Project scope included:

Maintenance & Operations Custodial Site Costs & Utilities

Space Planning Move Management Project Management

Reprographics Security Shuttles

Food Service Fitness Centers Retail Services

Estimated long term costs of ownership and operation were developed, comparing five

major metropolitan areas in different regions of the US.

Estimated potential savings, based on identified cost gaps, are $2 - $5 Million per year.

Early reports indicate expected savings in utilities alone of over $1.0 Million per year.



The client had conducted internal benchmarking among six of its major sites, totaling 6

million GSF. External cost benchmarks were sought from Guerin Associates to

complement these efforts, and provide a new perspective on performance

measurement and “best practices” in facilities management for non-manufacturing

areas. The project scope included:

Space Utilization Workplace Design Occupancy Strategies

CAD/CAFM Systems Relocation Management Design & Construction

Maintenance & Ops Custodial & Housekeeping Food Services

Mail & Copy Services Security

A Kickoff Orientation workshop was conducted to review survey forms and answer

questions from the facilities staff. Data collection took place over a three month period.

After analysis of the data, a Results Workshop was held at one of the sites. Numerous

improvement and cost saving recommendations were provided for this site, with

representatives from the other five sites in attendance. The Final Report provided

detailed analysis for each of the six sites.

Numerous improvement and cost saving recommendations were provided for this site,

with representatives from the other five sites in attendance. The Final Report provided

detailed analysis for each of the six sites.





Client: U.S. Computer Manufacturer

Due to a large acquisition, this firm managed facilities in several Midwest and West Coast

locations. Guerin Associates coordinated data collection and validation. Mid-year data

was adjusted to achieve a common reporting year. Site & Utilities costs were normalized

to account for regional variations. The project scope included these service areas:

Maintenance & Op‟s Custodial Roads & Grounds Utilities

Space Planning Move Management Project Management

Mail & Express Mail Reprographics Conference Room Mgt. Security

Food Service Fitness Centers Retail Services

The Final Report was presented on-site to a staff of about twenty-five managers.

Estimated potential savings, based on identified cost gaps, equal nearly $3 Million.

ENERGY BENCHMARKING

Clients: Major Pharmaceuticals & Chemicals Companies

Guerin Associates launched the EMCS (Energy Management Consortium Study), to allow

large firms to objectively compare energy costs and practices in a confidential format.

Five firms submitted detailed data for 11 US sites, and one each in Switzerland and Brazil.

GA‟s “Value Methodology” was applied to report costs relative to service. Fuel costs

were compared per SF and per MBTU. Firms with excellent scores in comfort, air quality,

budget compliance, waste management, etc. received high service levels (KPIs).

Companies demonstrating low utilities costs, high service levels and advanced energy

management practices were highlighted as “best performers” of the EMCS project.

FACILITY SELECTION

Client: US-Based Chemicals Company

The facility selection involved a major new office building in downtown Houston. GA

conducted a study of peer firms and facilities, to compare and analyze these areas:

Open vs. Closed, Single vs. Shared Spaces Workspace Standard Areas and Footprints

Variation by Size, Features and Accessories Assignment by Grade Level and Job Function

Assignment by Business Unit, Avg. SF / Person Centralized vs. Dispersed Conference Rooms

Conference Sizes and Counts vs. Workspaces Conference Room Mixes by Size, Seats, Type

Conference Technologies (AV, etc.) Room Reservation & Enforcement Methods

GA also developed a comprehensive “5-Star” rating system, to be used for comparison

of design features, construction quality and employee amenities. The system is intended

for use in objectively evaluating the client‟s facilities and worker amenities world-wide.

Based on findings, the client finalized and utilized new workspace standards for a major

new facility, resulting in senior management support, and ultimately board approval.

Based on these findings, the c




SPACE MANAGEMENT

Client: U. S. Software Company

This company had moved from high-growth to a cost-saving mode, and was interested

in evaluating two very different approaches it had adopted to internal space planning.

The client needed to evaluate the long-term implications of two radically different space

planning approaches for their 800K GSF headquarters facility.

GA reviewed and compared space utilization results by building and by floor. Findings

indicated that results of the „enhanced‟ scheme were not as dramatic as expected, due

to circulation requirements. Potential improvements were also identified in workspace

size, occupancy rates, and ratio of conference space to office workspace.

Using conservative estimates to occupy and operate the facility, potential equivalent

savings from these improvements is over $3.5 Million (minus workplace change costs).

SPACE UTILIZATION

Client: European-Based Chemicals Company

The facility is a North American corporate headquarters, with approximately 850K GSF.

Major wings of the building are linked with a series of building cores and atrium spaces.

GA analyzed three major aspects of overall planning:

Space Utilization Workspace Design Occupancy Strategy

Space and Occupancy results were better than average. (Space Utilization, in fact, was

close to “best performer” levels.) Workspace Design, however, was found to be well

beyond average (over 40%) in allocation of building area.

Based on these findings, the client created a corporate-wide task force to re-evaluate

and potentially redesign workspace standards, with senior management support. If

implemented, corporate treasury estimates 12 year after-tax cash flow of $106 Million.

SPACE UTILIZATION

Client: U.S. Pharmaceuticals Company

A major pharmaceuticals firm needed to reduce operating costs for its NJ headquarters

and area facilities. Among its concerns were the amount of office space, the costs of

satisfying user requirements, and the capital investment entailed in new facilities. Office

demands were rising, and rental space was unavailable in sufficient quantities.

Guerin Associates was asked to evaluate approximately 2.3M gross square feet of office

space. Existing plans were compared with four pharmaceutical / medical products

competitors, and “performance gaps” quantified. The client learned how much

additional internal capacity was available, and where planning could be improved.

Based on this analysis of existing capacities, the client was able to confirm plans to

delay over $50 Million in new construction.




MOVE MANAGEMENT STUDY


This firm has a high internal “churn rate,” with approximately 10,000 internal moves per

year in over fifty buildings. GA was asked to evaluate overall process costs and

effectiveness, to assist the client in major upcoming contract decisions. GA compared

detailed cost breakdowns, cycle times and similar service quality metrics with peer

companies and facilities in its own database. GA also reviewed the organization and its

processes, technologies and systems.

Numerous Key Performance Indicators were used to develop a “Value Analysis,”

balancing service quality with costs. An assessment of existing conditions --including a

report of potential cost savings and improvements-- was presented to the full

management staff.

In addition to identifying cost saving and performance enhancement opportunities, GA

assisted the client with contract scope definition, RFP questions, performance-based

contract approaches and service level metrics. GA was asked to identify vendors

providing move coordination and implementation services, and provided a list of

approximately 15 local and national candidates.

Projected annual savings are conservatively estimated at $1.22 Million.

REAL ESTATE LOCATION STUDY

Client: International Chemicals Company

This client retained GA to study locations for a major office facility (300K - 500K GSF). GA

developed the general specifications for a building program, and confidentially

contacted local economic development agencies and development firms. Information

was also obtained from the US Department of Labor and similar public sources.

Analysis included:

Land and construction costs

Real estate and personal property taxes

Local assessed / appraised value ratios

Lease costs (using various lease types)

Tenant improvement allowances

Employment and tax incentives

Utilities rates and incentives

Historical labor costs

Estimated long term costs of ownership and operation were developed, comparing five

major metropolitan areas in different regions of the US.

GA found differentials of 35%, representing potential 10 year savings of over $40 Million.





Client: U.S. Pharmaceuticals Company

This client required comprehensive benchmarks for launch of a major new facility. Initial

occupancy is 1,400, with an ultimate population of approximately 5,000. Questions

addressed in this study included:

How can world class service be achieved and maintained from the outset?

What are the benchmarks to evaluate cost, performance and customer service?

What specific measures reflect first class service? (Examples: % of work order time

reported representing wrench time; % of work orders completed on time; %

corrective maintenance; % preventive maintenance; etc.)

How are other companies organized to deliver service? What are reasonable costs,

staffing levels, utilities, etc.? What is the impact of union involvement?

What is the extent of outsourcing? Vendor consolidation locally and regionally?

What practices and technologies provide superior performance at lower cost?

Guerin Associates worked with twenty-five sites from twenty-two leading companies to

evaluate management methods, costs and performance. Participants were evaluated

and ranked in fourteen separate categories, including Maintenance & Operations,

Custodial, Space Planning, Security, Site Services, etc.

“Best performers” in each category were interviewed to validate data and understand

reasons for superior results. Results, analysis, recommendations and over 100 integrated

cost and performance metrics were presented in a detailed, comprehensive report.

Guerin Associates also helped the client contact and arrange visits to best performer

sites, for more extensive, firsthand observations and learning.


Client: U.S. Computer Manufacturer

This project had the same functional scope as the project described above, plus

Automotive Fleet Management. Total facility size was approximately 850,000 SF, with

several additional buildings in planning.

By applying GA‟s methodology to one new building alone, this client improved space

utilization by approximately 25,000 SF (almost 10%), deferring future construction and

increasing “internal rent” (costs charged to internal users) by $690,000 per year.
