WorkOasis™ introduces Lean Six Sigma for Managing Contractors

Atlanta, GA February 9, 2005 -- FM Solutions, LLC announced today the availability of Six Sigma services for the facility management industry based on its WorkOasis™ technology platform. The application of Lean Six Sigma in the property management area represents a $60 billion improvement opportunity for US corporations.

The facility management function which includes processes for sourcing service contractors, handling service requests, and paying invoices, has been one of the least automated, measured and controlled functions within the enterprise. WorkOasis™ combines “Lean” service techniques to shorten service transaction time and “Six Sigma” quality methods to better measure and control facility management processes, resulting in improved responsiveness and reduce cost.

Corporate owners of large portfolios of distributed real estate will be able to contract with WorkOasis™ to perform a Lean Six Sigma audit of their current processes and receive a detailed process map and assessment of their operations and improvement opportunities. WorkOasis™ uses Six Sigma implementation partners and certified blackbelts to conduct the audits.

Bob Dickhaus, founder of FM Solutions and WorkOasis™ comments; “The application of Six Sigma techniques to the facility management function is a relatively new concept. Redesigning and automating paper based service processes can save corporate real estate owners 15-20% of their total operating budgets.

Jim Phillips, Six Sigma blackbelt and Partner of Ogmacon Service, states; “More and more, the world's best companies rely on a common understanding of the facilities operations strategy throughout the organization. WorkOasis’s approach of building competitive advantage through facility operational improvement cuts through the rhetoric and provides practical tools and concepts for building sound operating strategies that work.”
