Supporting optimal levels of operational efficiency and end-to-end supply chain security and compliance
How CHAS Helps Facility Management Companies Ensure Compliance And Secure Supply Chains
Facilities Management (FM) companies face compliance challenges and supply chain risks on many levels. Every contractor, location, piece of equipment and operation adds a layer of complexity to supply chain risk management with unique risks and compliance requirements.
Any supply chain risks can have a significant impact on the success of an organisation, from health and safety risks to those relating to the environment, corruption, finances, and professional standing.
If these supply chain risks aren’t effectively managed, consequences can include harm and ill-health, serious financial repercussions, legal liability and irreversible reputational damage to name just a few. But these risks can be managed and mitigated.
CHAS takes the complexity out of supply chain risk management for FM companies. We offer guidance and resources to help you achieve and maintain compliance with risk management legislation while improving the efficiency, sustainability and safety of operations.
On top of this, we can connect you with facilities contractors who meet your standards and share your commitment to risk management. We can also help you unlock growth opportunities — CHAS allows you to demonstrate your competence across different areas of risk management, display your level of compliance and accreditation to clients, and win more contracts.
How CHAS Helps Facilities Management Companies Manage And Mitigate Supply Chain Risks
Expert Guidance On Legal Responsibilities And Compliance Risks
Our award-winning team of experts are here to help you understand your legal responsibilities, determine which legislation applies to your business and ensure compliance. For example, if any of your facilities management operations fall under the CDM (2015) Regulations, we can help you understand your duties and how to fulfil them.
As a CHAS member, you will have access to free Business Shield Support — you can call for free expert advice on health, safety or environmental issues and we’ll dedicate as much time as you need to offering advice and helping you reach a resolution.
Increased Supply Chain Visibility And Real-Time Insight Into Compliance Status
Poor supply chain visibility makes it difficult to identify and mitigate risks, so CHAS offers real-time insight into projects, supply chain activities, contractor credentials and compliance.
When you sign up for a free CHAS Client membership, you can manage projects and procurement easily from our online portal. You’ll be able to see which accreditations contractors hold, when they expire, and ensure that contractors are suitably skilled and qualified for tasks. You’ll also get real-time alerts about any lapses in your compliance status.
CHAS Plant, one of our supply chain risk management solutions, is designed to help facilities management companies simplify plant maintenance, safety and compliance. You can get full visibility into plant compliance with service schedules, audit trails and a user-friendly dashboard. With CHAS Plant, you can ensure your plant equipment and machinery is helping you meet targets (such as emissions targets) and keep costs to a minimum.
CHAS People, another of our solutions, offers complete visibility into the credentials and qualifications of individual workers. With CHAS People, you can automate the process of checking credentials and remove the risk and guesswork from verification processes.
