FM Case Study
Kerry Group
This FM case study is based on Kerry Group plc, a public food company headquartered in Ireland.
FM Case Study Overview: What Were the Client's Needs?
Kerry Group required a company that could manage all reactive maintenance issues around the schedule of working factories in the Munster region. The goal of the client was to reduce or eliminate any downtime to the plant or obstructions to staff while work were being carried out. This would increase site efficiency and boost the cost savings of each site in the long term.
How Did We Fulfill Their Needs?
We have worked closely with the maintenance and development managers onsite to deliver a cost-effective solution to all their requests in a timely fashion. We have carried out our works around the facilities working schedules whenever possible and set up alternative arrangements for staff when required.
We have been working with Kerry Group, our FM case study, since 2015 and in that time we have covered all reactive and planned maintenance requests from the client in a cost-effective and timely fashion. We have also managed several renovation projects from concept development through to completion and handover.
Staff Locker Room and Cleanroom Upgrade
We managed a complete strip out and upgrade of staff changing rooms from floor to ceiling including electrical plumbing and HVAC upgrades. We also redesigned the flow into and out of the locker rooms through a newly renovated gowning/de-gowning area allowing to client to future proof the setup for any changes in the industry practices going forward.
Main Canteen Refurbishment
We stripped out a 1000ft2 canteen from floor to roof including internal walls. All services were replaced along with floor coverings and ceiling systems. This then allowed us to fit a new open area kitchen for staff and gave a larger seating area with a brighter modern feel. A temporary canteen was set up onsite for the duration of works so staff impact was minimal. All works were completed on time and on budget.
Lab Access Redesign
We had to create new doorways through a mass concrete wall in order to move in new equipment into the lab. The lab work station layout was altered to suit the new openings and modifications were carried out on the bench and storage setup. All works had to be completed while the labs remained operational and uncontaminated.
Full Office Refurbishment
We removed a 2500ft2 office setup back to the 4 walls, floor and roof. In its place, we subdivided the area into 3 individual offices, an open plan space for 16 workstations and a tea station area.
FM Case Study Results
Since starting with Kerry we have helped them modernize the facilities we operate in to improve the daily operations and efficiencies for this FM case study. We have also worked with them to modernize the facilities for both office and plant staff through improvements in work and recreational environments.
