Business processes depend heavily on production and other facilities, on supporting IT systems and infrastructure and resources.

Therefore, facility management has increasingly become a new issue in terms of securing business continuity.

Notwithstanding the crucial importance of facilities and facility management, inherent risks are often not clearly identified, the impact is not or only partially quantified.

Facility risk management aims to prevent losses and interruption of business and production processes by:

• Identifying and assessing the risk potential
• Implementing preventive measures in terms of 'state of the art' facilities and preparation for a contingency situation
• Systematically monitoring the efficiency of preventive measures taken, considering ever changing requirements and internal and external influences

Facility risk management is one of our core competences, based on a wide professional experience.

The approach is pragmatic and in line with a proven methodology, with the following characteristics:

• Integration of safety, security and risk handling along the value chain
• Prevention not as a cost factor, but as an element to protect business processes and continuity and thus to secure entrepreneurial goals
• Optimization over the entire life cycle of a facility: total cost of ownership as the ultimate criteria in terms of cost effectiveness
