Retail Facilities Management & Risk Prevention in China
Retailers face growing pressure in the extremely competitive Chinese market. Often ignored in the early stages of the business. Facilities Management (FM) quickly becomes a key issue, with incidents sometimes having a major impact on operations (store closures, safety, non-compliance with fire safety laws, brand image) and further exposing retailers to risks. Usually managed by a separate department, Risk Prevention (RP) covers not only technical risk (a growing concern in China with increasing government awareness, public scrutiny, and competitors ready to exploit any weakness) but also other risks such as internal fraud, product safety, social unrest. During the session, leading retail executives will share some of their experience in this area.
Hot topics and critical issues:
- Safety, with a focus on fire safety, from firefighting to true prevention
- Managing large FM/RP teams: turnover, lack of multidisciplinary skills, motivation and development
- Designing enforceable policies and actually enforcing them, on a large scale
- Collecting and aggregating a wide variety of data, in real time, from a large number of locations and people
- Sustainability, from design dreams to actual operations
- What to outsource, what to keep in-house, why and how
- Use of technology-based initiatives in the specific context of China
